Foreign higher education students shall NOT be eligible for participation in LIHEAP. A foreign student sharing a housing unit with other persons who are U.S. citizens will not be considered a household member for LIHEAP purposes, his income and assets will not be counted, and any bedroom used exclusively by the foreign student will not be counted when determining the Estimated Cost of Heating.
It is necessary to determine the portion of the heating costs which are the responsibility of the foreign student. Payments on behalf of the LIHEAP eligible household members must be reduced by the amount of the foreign student's responsibility. These cases will usually need to be paid using the Miscellaneous Payment method.
