End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
We published a final rule amending 38 CFR 4.16(a) in the Federal Register of August 3, 1990, 55 FR 31,579. The amendment provided that marginal employment generally shall be deemed to exist when a veteran's earned annual income does not exceed the amount established by the Bureau of the Census as the poverty threshold for one person. The provisions of 38 CFR 4.16(a) use the poverty threshold as a standard in defining marginal employment when considering total disability ratings for compensation based on unemployability of an individual. We stated we would publish subsequent poverty threshold figures as notices in the Federal Register.
The Bureau of the Census recently published the weighted average poverty thresholds for 2003. The threshold for one person (unrelated individual) is $9,393.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
