{"Image DocumentName": "The poverty thresholds", "Image ImageDescription": "The poverty thresholds are issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and are used primarily for statistical purposes. The poverty guidelines are issued by the U.S. department of Health and Human Services and are used to determine whether a person or family is financially eligible for assistance or services under particular federal program. Many people who earn slightly more than the government-defined poverty levels are unable to meet living expenses and are not eligible for government assistance programs. The people are often referred to as the near poor. Persistent poverty refers to individuals and families who remain poor for long periods and pass poverty on to their descendants.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
