    *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%.

    The man working the desk was an older man. He was extremely short and condescending to everyone in the office, including myself. He was defensive right off the bat, cutting you off and then being offended when we tried to interject. Did not explain or help whatsoever. He wasn't wearing a name tag and would not provide his name. He said he has been working there since 1977. Yet he couldn't clarify why my paperwork had two different dates on it.
