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%.

Jamie is fabulous!!!! Love him!!! He is straight up, honest, and always willing to help. The other girl there, cant remember her name, but she always has an attitude! And you can tell she doesn't care.
They will pay up to a certain amount, i cant remember how much exactly but they will pay large bills for you. I think up to $2,000
Poverty level, I know for 2 people, it is like $2100 or so...
It would be advised, but if its an emergency go up there 1st thing in the morning, 8am, and they will squeeze you in.

Ok, but the only thing that is you have to get SNAP/FOOD STAMPS to get help. Sometimes people who actually work, just need help once in a while. Like we had other things to pay and are broke and cant pay a bill. But do we ever get help? NO.
