If a move or a change in heating source is reported within 10 days, the "effective date of the change" will be the date of the move or the date the heating source changed.
If the move or a change in heating source is not reported within 10 days, an "effective date of change" will need to be negotiated with the household, past and present suppliers, and the eligibility worker.
Example:
Re-computation - Renter/Heat Paid Moves to Vendor Pay
This change to the LIHEAP Share Percentage will be effective the date of the move, unless the household fails to report within 10 days. If the household fails to report on time, the eligibility worker will need to determine the date the household became responsible for the heat. This should be the LIHEAP Share Effective Date, but if renter/heat benefits were paid after the date of the move, the eligibility worker will need to determine the possibility of overpayments or of negotiating a different effective date.
