Some households may have had a change in household members prior to the month of application.

 

For LIHEAP eligibility and benefit calculation, do NOT count income received during the months prior to application of any person who is not in the household the month of application; and for any past month, do NOT count the income of any person who was not in the household during that month.

 

Unpaid bills incurred prior to the month of application for which the current household is held liable, may have the LIHEAP Percent Share of the bill paid if eligibility is established for those months based on the income of current household members. Reimbursement cannot be paid for the LIHEAP percent of the bill incurred prior to the month of application unless the current household member can verify that previous members did NOT participate in the payment of those bills.
