Eligibility for Back Bills and Reimbursements 415-25-05- 35 (Revised 10/1/22 ML #3679) View Archives

If the household is income eligible (monthly countable income minus allowable expenses) for months prior to the month of application and heating costs were incurred, the LIHEAP Share Percentage of the bill can be paid on unpaid bills or the LIHEAP Share Percentage of the bill can be reimbursed to the household (for special circumstances, see 415-25-05- 15-15). The LIHEAP Share Percentage is calculated on the basis of the month of application (or an average, See 415-25-05-15) and applied to bills from prior eligible months.

Back bills and reimbursements may NOT be paid for ANY month in which income eligibility did not exist.
