three times the substinence minimum
Explanation:
Najprv som váhal, ktorej z už uvedených odpovedí dám svoj hlas - s úpravou na substinence minimum, ale potom som sa rozhodol dať samostatnú odpoveď. Dôležité v tejto otázke je asi to substinence minimum, nie forma akou sa vyjadrí trojnásobok.

three times the poverty threshold / line


Explanation:
Poverty threshold is the U.S. statistical term.

"Poverty line" is more common in regular communication.

Minimum wage is something quite different. There are people who make minimum wage in full-time jobs but are below the poverty level.
