Where can I find the current Washington State poverty guidelines for indigent defense screening to obtain a public defender?

Poverty guidelines for Washington State and for the federal level are posted in English and Spanish on the Poverty Guidelines for Indigent-Defense Screening (RCW 10.101) page of the Inside Courts Website.

See also the Poverty Guidelines, Research, and Measurement page of the United States Department of Health & Human Services Website for current federal guidelines, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and poverty research centers.

The statute for the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 10.101- Indigent defense services is located on the Washington State Legislature Website.
