Definition
Children under age 18 who live in families with incomes less than 200% of the federal poverty level and at least one parent worked 50 or more weeks during the previous year.
The federal poverty definition consists of a series of thresholds based on family size and composition. In 2007, the 200% poverty threshold for a family of two adults and two children was $42,054. Poverty status is not determined for people in military barracks, institutional quarters, or for unrelated individuals under age 15 (such as foster children).
