Poverty Guidelines Updated

 Each year, the Federal government updates guidelines setting financial limits to determine poverty income. These limits are used to determine eligibility for a number of federal programs and services offered by Northeast Oklahoma Community Action Agency. For 2009, a four-person family earning $22,050 annually or one person with income at $10,830 or less is eligible. To learn more, click here for the Federal Register notice.
