SNAP
The SUA is budgeted for households that:
have or anticipate out-of-pocket heating or cooling costs separate from their rent or mortgage payments during the next 12 months; or
have received a Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) payment or other similar energy assistance payment of more than $20 annually in the previous 12 months or in the current month.
No other deductions related to utilities are allowed when using the SUA.
Notes:
Cooling costs are limited to the cost related to the operation of an air conditioning system, an evaporative cooler or swamp box or window unit air conditioner(s). A fan is not considered a cooling cost for the purposes of qualifying for the SUA.
Each household is eligible for the SUA when they share heating or cooling costs and a meter, whether they live together or not.
