Eligible Months - Computation 415-30-01 (Revised 10/1/22 ML #3679) View Archives

Benefits (LIHEAP Share Percentage) will generally be computed based on the household’s annualized income that is calculated at time of application and applied from the month of application forward to May 31.

If the household has income-eligibility (monthly countable income minus allowable expenses) for months prior to the month of application, the ongoing LIHEAP Share Percentage and the household's co-payment percentage that have been established will be applied to bills from eligible prior months.

The months the fuel dealer is authorized to bill LIHEAP on behalf of his customer may be adjusted to include prior months of eligibility.

NOTE: A household will not be eligible for months prior to the month of application if the household has NO ongoing eligibility.
