21.4.11.B Regular LIEAP Payment The chart in Appendix A shows the base amount of the Regular LIEAP benefit. Regular LIEAP benefits are automatically determined by the eligibility system based upon the income, the number of persons in the AG, and the type of energy used for home heating/cooling. Percentage increments for certain types of energy are applied to the base amount to arrive at the amount of increment for each type of energy. The base amount plus the incremental amount represents the Regular LIEAP benefit. See chart below.
