The Nebraska Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income households pay the cost of heating and cooling their homes.
In most cases the LIHEAP payment will be sent to the utility provider. For Federal Reporting, beginning in 2016, we will now be requesting utility bills that show provider name, client name and account number. If you have two providers, electric or gas for instance, both providers will be requested.
There is also a cooling program available to households in the summer. To be eligible for the cooling program, there must be someone in the household that is 70 years of age or older, or meets specific medical conditions that makes a person need air-conditioning, OR be ADC grant eligible and have a child age 6 years or younger. The household must still meet the income guidelines.
