States must use these tables for purposes described in the law, including for youth eligibility determinations. WIOA defines the term “low income individual” as one who qualifies under various criteria, including an individual who receives, or received for a prior six-month period, income that does not exceed the higher level of the poverty line or 70 percent of the LLSIL.  \nThis policy provides the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) – Division of Workforce Development and Adult Learning (DWDAL)’s annual LLSIL for 2017 and references the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s current 2017 poverty guidelines.  \nThis policy is effective May 23, 2017.  \n2017 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES  \nThe following chart provides the 2017 Poverty Guidelines, as given by the HHS.  \n\n| 2017 Poverty Guidelines |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Size of Family | Poverty Guideline |\n| 1 | $12,060 |\n| 2 | $16,240 |\n| 3 | $20,420 |\n| 4 | $24,600 |\n| 5 | $28,780 |\n| 6 | $32,960 |\n| 7 | $37,140 |\n| 8 | $41,320 |\n\nNOTE: For family units with more than 8 members, add $4,180 for each additional person.  \n2017 LOWER LIVING STANDARD INCOME LEVEL (LLSIL)  \nWIOA stipulates that 70 percent ofthe LLSIL value shall be used for certain WIOA programs, including the Youth program and the Indian and Native American Program.
