    *Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
    These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.

      They are not treating clients the same with resources and there is discrimination coming out of the Bangor office. Some people get more help with electricity living in the same complex. The issues all stem with the employers involved.

      My income is below the Federal Poverty level but, they would only consider what my business brought through the door and not my actual income or the adjusted gross income. I was refused and assistance.
