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.
| Persons In Family | Earnings (100% Fed Poverty Guideline) |

*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%.

I had a 5 star experience with the LIHEAP program when I could walk into the Two Rivers Office in Pittsfield, IL; but this year I’ve had to deal with an office out of town and everything through email. It’s caused lots of confusion, hardship and miscommunication resulting in a denial of my application. I have tried emailing and calling to re-apply but have not gotten any calls back from voicemails I’ve left and no responses from my sent emails. I’ve had an extra difficult year because of COVID 19 and other hardships. The assistance would help my family of 5 (single mom and 4 kids) considerably.
