Washington State uses the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2). The poverty guidelines were updated in the Annual Update of the HHS Poverty Guidelines, 77 Fed. Reg. 17,4034 - 4035 (January 26, 2012).
