LIHEAP
You may be able to receive a one-time payment for your utility bill if you meet income guidelines.
IMPACT will help you apply for the benefit through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Assistance level depends on income level, family size, the type of fuel you use to heat your home, and other factors.
If you heat your home with liquid propane (LP), you can qualify to receive a delivery of propane through this program.
If you have received a disconnection notice, or if you are disconnected from your power source, we may have funding to assist you.
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%.
