DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Poverty Threshold; Notice
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.
SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hereby gives notice of
the weighted poverty threshold established for 1995 for one person
(unrelated individual) as established by the Bureau of the Census. This
amount is $7,763.
DATES: For VA determinations, the 1995 poverty threshold is effective
September 26, 1996, the date on which it was established by the Bureau
of the Census.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul Trowbridge, Consultant, Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans
Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-7218.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published a final rule amending 38 CFR
4.16(a) in the Federal Register of August 3, 1990, 55 Fed. Reg. 31,579.
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 Census as the poverty threshold
for one person. The provisions of 38 CFR 4.16(a) use the poverty
threshold as a standard in defining marginal employment when
considering total disability ratings for compensation based on
unemployability of an individual. We stated we would publish subsequent
poverty threshold figures as notices in the Federal Register.
The Bureau of the Census recently published in the weighted average
poverty thresholds for 1995. The threshold for one person (unrelated
individual) is $7,763.
Dated: December 11, 1996.
Jesse Brown,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
