802: Annual Household Report: This report is also due on September 1 of each year and is included as an Attachment to the State Plan. A preliminary report can be submitted with the Plan on September 1 however, the final report must be submitted by December 15 of each year. Again, a notice from HHS will be sent to States in the form of an Action Transmittal with details how to submit this information. In general this report captures various demographics of applicant households and households served in the previous FFY year by income. Also included are number of elderly, disabled, and households with young children. 803: Leverage Incentive Report: This report is due on November 30 in most years. There have been years when leveraging awards were not given out and therefore, no report was due. It should be understood that this is a voluntary report.

This report includes estimated amount of LIHEAP funds that were not spent during the current fiscal year and is expected to be used for carryover. LIHEAP Statute requires that no more than 10% of funds can be carried over from one year to the next. Therefore, if the estimated carryover is more than 10%, States must report on the amount to be re-allotted to the other states and the plan for spending the 10% allowed to be carried forward. It is important to note that funds retain their characteristics from year to year. So if the State receives a grant award in the amount of $10,000,000; budgets the maximum 10% for
