US SB3756

Requires the Census Bureau to implement within 1 year a new poverty measurement methodology based on the Congressional Budget Office's distributional analysis of household income, calculating income as earned income plus government transfer payments minus taxes paid

Defines "earned income" broadly to include wages, interest, dividends, capital gains, and the monetary value of employer-paid benefits such as health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, and in-kind compensation like free lodging or meals

Defines "government transfer payments" to include Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, housing assistance, TANF, child tax credits, earned income credits, Pell Grants, CHIP, and other federal/state benefits provided based on income or economic status

Mandates federal agencies provide requested data to the Census Bureau within 180 days, and requires the Director to submit reports to Congress comparing the new methodology's results with existing Official and Supplemental Poverty Measures

Establishes criminal penalties of up to $300,000 in fines and 5 years imprisonment for knowingly accessing or disclosing personally identifiable information collected under this Act
