Another important point: do not give Kaopectate or Pepto-Bismol to children or teenagers who have a fever without first contacting your childâs doctor. They belong to a group of medicines called âsalicylates.â Youngsters who receive aspirin or other salicylates during a viral infection may develop Reyeâs syndrome.
For a single person in the United States the poverty level is defined as $11,490 annual earnings by the 2013 Federal Poverty Level guidelines. The poverty level for a family o â¦ f four is defined as $23,500 annually.
For example, if food-stamp benefits were counted as income, then about 3.7 million fewer people would be included in poverty, according to the Census Bureau. The annual income threshold for being counted as living in poverty was $11,490 last year for a person and $23,550 for a family of four. Poverty is particularly dire for single mothers: A third of all families headed by single women were in poverty last year -- that's 15.6 million such households. The black poverty rate was 27.2 percent, unchanged from 2012 and higher than 24.3 percent before the recession began.
