SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is hereby giving 
notice of the weighted average poverty threshold in 1992 for one person 
(unrelated individual) as established by the Bureau of the Census.

DATES: The 1992 poverty threshold is for consideration effective 
October 8, 1993, the date on which we notified our regional offices of 
such amount.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a final regulation amending 38 
CFR 4.16(a) in the Federal Register of August 3, 1990, pages 31579-80. 
The amendment provided that marginal employment generally shall be 
deemed to exist when a veteran's earned annual income does not exceed 
the amount established by the Bureau of the Census as the poverty 
threshold for one person. VA noted that the weighted average poverty 
threshold in 1988 for one person (unrelated individual) as established 
by the Bureau of the Census was $6,024 and stated we would publish 
subsequent poverty threshold figures as notices in the Federal

poverty thresholds for 1992. The threshold for one person (unrelated 
individual) is $7,143.
