Attachment Section 2.6 Benefit Levels, 2605(b)(5)-Assurance 5, 2605(c)(1)(B

If any of the above questions require further explanation or clarification that could not be made in the fields provided, attach a document with said explanation here. 2.6 - *The minimum benefit calculation is 2 points x $175 per point. The maximum benefit calculation is 35 points x $175 per point.

The minimum and maximum benefit amounts do not include the following household types: renters who receive a utility allowance as part of their subsidized housing agreement and household sharers.

The minimum benefit for an applicant who receives a utility allowance as part of their subsidized housing agreement is $175. This is because a 50% reduction is applied to the applicant’s total benefit calculation.

The minimum benefit for an applicant in a household sharer situation is dependent on how many households share a dwelling. The total grant is reduced to the household’s proportion of the total number of households in the dwelling. If the applicant household shares the dwelling with one other household their total benefit would be reduced to 50%. If the applicant household shares the dwelling with two other households their total benefit would be reduced to 33.33%. FY26 Alaska LIHEAP Model Plan
