Who is eligible for LIHEAP?
Both homeowners and renters who are responsible for their heating bills and have a low or fixed income are eligible. You do not need to have an unpaid bill to receive energy assistance. You can receive this money without being on welfare. Clients living in subsidized housing are eligible for the Cash grant only if they pay part for or all of their primary heating source directly to a vendor. LIHEAP eligibility is based on 150% of the Federal Income Poverty Guideline.
