Update the federal poverty line

Kevin Mullin introduced legislation to update the federal poverty line, which is used to determine eligibility for safety-net benefits. He says the current measure does not reflect modern living costs and that an update would make programs accessible to families who do not qualify but cannot afford basic needs.

Context: The passage does not specify the proposed calculation method. The report describes congressional positions and work; it does not establish a new campaign pledge. Original event dates remain unverified.
