This update revised the self-employment annualization table based on changes in the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPGFederal Poverty Guidelines) for Alaska and removed references to status reporting as there is no longer status reporting in Alaska effective April 1, 2018. Other changes are either technical in nature or clarifications that are the results of policy questions or suggestions from the field.
