Income is the first test of eligibility of LIHEAP. Adjusted gross income from all sources not expressly excluded in 415-25-05-30 are to be used in calculating the household's income.

 

The income from ALL persons living in the household must be included in the determination of household income with one exception: minor children still in school (See 415-25-05-50).

 

College students residing with their parents only on weekends and holidays will not be counted as members of their parent's household. (See 415-25-05-55.) Foster persons (415-25-05-60), persons who make a board and room payment to the household (415-25-05-45), and higher education foreign students (415-20-10-55), are not counted as members of the household.

 

If there is a court order or legal agreement form that indicates that both parents have 50% custody of their children, each parent can count the children in their household.
