In counties where both programs do not have the same sub-grantees, the LIHEAP program shares the applicant information with the Weatherization agency for applicants that marked on their application that they are interested in receiving weatherization benefits. In addition, the LIHEAP application (paper and online) provides applicants the opportunity to indicate whether they want to be considered for weatherization assistance.. Also, any applicant that has applied for and been found eligible for LIHEAP benefits is categorically eligible for weatherization, provided that the applicant meets other requirements like the age of the building, the building passing the energy audit and the property has not been weatherized in the past fifteen years.
