Under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, the Secretary of Labor annually determines the Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) for uses described in the law. WIA defines the term “Low Income Individual” as one who qualifies under various criteria, including an individual who received income for a six-month period that does not exceed the higher of the poverty line or 70% of the Lower Living Standard Income Level. The LLSIL is used for several purposes under WIA; specifically, WIA Section 101(25) defines the term “low income individual” for eligibility purposes, Sections 127(b)(2)(C) and 132(b)(1)(v)(IV) define the terms “disadvantaged youth,” and “disadvantaged adult” in terms of the poverty line or LLSIL for purposes of State formula allotments. The LLSIL is used to determine eligibility for youth, eligibility for employed adult workers for certain services, and for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC).
