The updated income levels are set at 125% of these guidelines, with additional reference information provided for income levels at 200%. These changes ensure that LSC's criteria reflect current economic standards for determining eligibility for legal aid.

    The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) has updated the income levels for people eligible for legal assistance. The updates reflect changes in the Federal Poverty Guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These new income levels are set at 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and are effective from January 28, 2021. A chart showing income levels at 200% of the guidelines is also provided to help assess financial eligibility for those with slightly higher incomes.

    Simple Explanation

    The Legal Services Corporation has made new rules to decide who can get help with legal issues based on how much money they make, using new guidelines that help them see who's really in need. These rules use a special chart that shows how much money people can earn to still get help, like a measuring stick to see who's eligible.
