Some critical differences in the calculation of the self-sufficiency standard vs. the U.S. poverty
threshold are:
a) The self sufficiency standard is caculated by NASW, the U.S. poverty threshold is calculated by
each state government.
b) The self sufficency standard calculates the income necessary to meet basic needs based upon the
marketplace, and does not include any possible public subsities, and it is updated annually. The
U.S. poverty threshold includes in it's calculation all possible public subsities.
c) The U.S. poverty standard is used as a general databased but is not used when considering new
antipoverty policies or programs. The self sufficency standard is used primarily in social work
policy texts.
d) Only NASW has access to the self sufficency standard, and the general public has access to the
U.S. poverty threshold data, both of which are updated annually to reflect the most accurate data
available.
