The same LIHEAP Share Percentage and household Co-payment Percentage that has been computed for the primary source of heat will be used to pay a secondary source of heat, with exceptions for electric heating.

 

Payment on secondary heat sources can be paid throughout the heating season at the established LS percentage.

 

If the home with secondary electric heat can separate heat costs from general utility electricity, the LS percentage will be used to compute the amount paid.

 

Secondary electric heat that is not separate from electricity used as utilities will be paid at 50% of the bill times the LS percentage. Example: Total bill divided by 2, times the LS percentage.

 

LIHEAP will not pay for non-installed appliances such as space heaters or electric fireplaces.

 

LIHEAP will not pay for a secondary heat source unless it is used in a primary living space, such as a bedroom that is in use, a kitchen, a living room, or family room.

 

NOTE: THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY PAYMENTS MADE FOR SECONDARY HEAT.
