LIHEAP Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change who can qualify for help paying home energy bills under the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in fiscal year 2027. For that year only, a state could use its LIHEAP grant money to make payments to households with incomes up to 75 percent of the state's median income. This would apply even though existing law sets a different income limit. The bill uses the existing law's definitions of "State," "State median income," and "household."
