The 2014 FPL guidelines have been released and are available here: Federal Register, Volume 79 Issue 14 (Wednesday, January 22, 2014). For employer purposes, they matter primary because eligibility for the premium subsidy is based on FPL. The FPL is up 1.5% over last year. The level for a household of one is now $11,670 (up from $11,490) and for a family of 4 it is $23,850 (up from $23,550).

Separate poverty guideline figures for Alaska and Hawaii reflect
Office of Economic Opportunity administrative practice beginning in the
1966-1970 period. (Note that the Census Bureau poverty thresholds–the
version of the poverty measure used for statistical purposes–have
never had separate figures for Alaska and Hawaii.) The poverty
guidelines are not defined for Puerto Rico or other outlying
jurisdictions. In cases in which a Federal program using the poverty
guidelines serves any of those jurisdictions, the Federal office that
administers the program is generally responsible for deciding whether
to use the contiguous-states-and-DC guidelines for those jurisdictions
or to follow some other procedure.
