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%.

I'm not sure bout deposits but I think they may but call em & ask to double check. I know they usually ask for valid ID & social security card for everyone in the house along with ur utility bill & past 3 paystubs for anyone working in the household.
It's based on a limit for your household but I think it's once a month until you reach your households limit for the yr.
I believe it's 150% of the federal poverty level is what they go by so it's based on how many in household & whatever that number's limit is on the chart
I've always been told it's first come first served so just get there as early as you can after they open. Sometimes depending on locations & time of year they have been known to start lining up outside before the office opens so early is key.
