There are other resources that can additionally help you with your home heating costs:
LIHEAP stands for the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program. It is managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
LIHEAP aids those in need by reducing home energy costs, paying energy bills, energy crisis assistance, weatherization, and energy-related home repairs. Each state has its own LIHEAP.
In Maine, eligibility for assistance from LIHEAP depends on the household income and the number of people in the household.
If your total household income meets the income requirements, which is 150% of the Federal Poverty Level or 60% of the State Poverty Level, you may be eligible for aid from LIHEAP.
You may still apply for assistance if your heat is part of your rent.
Assistance may also be available if you have less than a three-day supply of heating fuel, or if you are in danger of having your utility services disconnected and have no way to pay the bill.
Those who pay court-ordered child support may be able to deduct the amount of the payments from the household income when it comes to LIHEAP eligibility. If your household income is above the eligibility guidelines but you have medical costs, you may be able to deduct a portion of the amount you have paid from your household income.
Be sure to consult this page for more information about income eligibility for LIHEAP. For more information about Maine’s LIHEAP, go to the Maine LIHEAP website or call 1-877-544-3271.
