The local Department en
courages housholds to wait until

avoid long waiting periods.
LIEAP provides a one-time cash

pay their heating bills. Households
are reminded that LIEAP is not
designed to pay an entire season's
heating bills for a household but at
best might cover a month's heating
costs.
Families must meet ALL of the
following requirements:
?The household's total coun
table income must be about equal
to the 1981 non-farm poverty level.
?The household must be respon
sible for its heating bills. If a fami
ly lives in public housing or in
government subsidized housing
and receives a utility allowance, it
may be eligible for a partial pay
ment.
?The household cannot have
assets that exceed $2,200.
The following factors will deter
mine the amount of the payment:
-The number of people in the
household
-The amount of income the
household receives
-The type of heating fuel the
household uses
-The region of the state where
the family lives.
