Implementation of a Priority Plan
Due to limited funding and high demand for LIHEAP, a Priority Plan has been implemented to serve those in most critical need. We encourage you to apply, but we cannot guarantee assistance even if you meet LIHEAP income eligibility guidelines.
Income Eligible Households May Be Denied
Households that meet LIHEAP income eligibility guidelines may be denied under the Priority Plan.
Delays
You may experience delays due to
high demand and an extended
application evaluation process.
Lower Benefit Amounts
Benefited households may receive
lower award amounts as compared
to previous years.
YOU MAY ALSO APPLY ONLINE!
For faster application processing, submit your application and documents on our secure LIHEAP application portal
