Community Service Center.
Assistance is provided once a year and is based on the applicant's annual household income before taxes.
However, tax refunds are not considered income and therefore do not play any role when applying for LIHEAP.
LIHEAP cheques are issued directly to the energy supplier and are not delivered to the applicant.
Furthermore, no cheque can be issued until NGCA, Inc. has received State funding from the LIHEAP.
Assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis as long as the funding lasts.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year.
To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.
You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
