Which federal or state agencies publish downloadable tables converting annual FPL to monthly/weekly income for 2026 benefits?

1. Federal source: HHS/ASPE is the authoritative starting point

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation publishes the official poverty guidelines and now exposes them via a Poverty Guidelines API with 2025 data; researchers and implementers should pull the official annual figures from ASPE before converting to monthly or weekly values ^{[1] [2]}. Use ASPE when you need the formal federal baseline that programs reference for eligibility calculations ^[1].

2. HealthCare.gov and program guidance: how agencies use different years

HealthCare.gov explains program rules tied to the guidelines: Marketplace premium tax credit eligibility for a coverage year generally uses the prior year’s poverty guidelines (for example, eligibility for coverage year 2026 is compared to 2025 guidelines), while Medicaid and CHIP use current-year FPL for eligibility determinations ^{[6] [7]}. That dual usage matters: a state or program might apply the ASPE annual numbers differently, so downloadable “monthly/weekly” tables should be matched to the program’s rule ^[6].

3. States and program offices: many publish ready-made conversions

Multiple state agencies and program offices publish sliding-fee scales or eligibility charts that convert the annual FPL into monthly or weekly amounts for local programs; for example, an Arkansas PDF provides a 2025–2026 sliding fee scale with annual figures and guidance for adding per-person amounts ^[3]. North Carolina’s state site offers a downloadable “Federal Fiscal Year 2026: Federal Poverty Guidelines” chart ^[4]. These state downloads are often the simplest way to get program-ready monthly or weekly figures ^{[3] [4]}.

4. Nonprofit and legal-aid compilations often include monthly/weekly tables

Legal services and nonprofit sites routinely republish the HHS numbers and provide annual, monthly and weekly breakdowns and common percentage multipliers (e.g., 115%, 125%, 187.5%, 200%, 300%)—Massachusetts Legal Services is an example that posts such charts for 2025 ^[5]. These resources are useful but are secondary; always cross-check with ASPE or the relevant state agency for official program use ^[5].

5. Employer/benefit guidance and calculators reuse and reinterpret FPL

Private-sector benefit advisers and state marketplace sites publish converted FPL tables for practical use—Covered California and benefits vendors describe monthly conversion methods (divide annual by 12) and produce 2026-focused guides tied to subsidies and employer safe harbors ^{[8] [9] [10]}. Such sources can be helpful for interpreting application of percentages (e.g., 9.96% affordability safe harbor) but they interpret rather than set the federal baseline ^{[9] [10]}.

6. Practical to-do: authoritative downloads to check first

If you need downloadable, program-ready tables for 2026 benefits, first download the ASPE poverty guidelines (official annual baseline and detailed 2025 PDF) and the ASPE API for structured data ^{[1] [2]}. Then check the state agency or program office that administers the benefit (examples: state health department sliding-fee PDFs or Medicaid sites) because states often publish converted monthly/weekly tables tailored to their rules ^{[3] [4]}.

7. Limitations and potential pitfalls

Available sources show ASPE provides the base guidelines and many states/nonprofits provide converted tables, but the search results do not list a single consolidated federal table that explicitly gives official monthly and weekly conversions for 2026 benefits—those conversions are typically a straightforward arithmetic step (divide by 12 for monthly) and are often supplied by states or nonprofits ^{[1] [8] [5]}. Also, program-specific rules (Marketplace uses prior-year FPL for subsidies; Medicaid uses current-year) require you to pick the correct year’s table when preparing benefit-year calculations ^[6].

8. Bottom line and recommended links to consult first

Start with ASPE’s Poverty Guidelines page and API for the authoritative annual numbers ^{[1] [2]}. Then consult the relevant state agency or program office (state sliding-fee PDFs or health department downloads such as the Arkansas and North Carolina examples) and reputable nonprofit compilations (Mass. Legal Services) for ready-made monthly/weekly tables and percentage multipliers used by programs ^{[3] [4] [5]}.
