In unusual circumstances, the State LIHEAP Administrator may authorize third party payments. This is to be used only when other payment methods are inadequate and may include but are not limited to:
- A landlord refuses to have the tenant's name on the vendor's account;
- A relative or other person has paid an eligible bill on behalf of a LIHEAP recipient and cannot be reimbursed by normal payment procedures; or
- Other circumstances as deemed appropriate by the State LIHEAP Administrator.
Third party payments are entered on-line by using Option F "Miscellaneous or Emergency" screen.
The third party payments require a special vendor ID number with a prefix code of "05" which must be assigned by the State Office.
