Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
For many Illinois households, energy costs place an severe and continuing stress on the family's budget. In some instances, the household is forced to make painful decisions regarding which bills to pay and which necessities to survive without. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is designed to help eligible low-income households pay for winter energy service. LIHEAP will provide a one-time benefit to eligible households to be used for energy bills. The amount of the payment is determined by income, household size, fuel type, and geographic location.
An overdue bill or cut-off notice is not required. You do not have to own your home or pay energy bills directly to be eligible for assistance. Your source of fuel does not have to be natural gas or electricity in order to receive assistance.
Energy Assistance may be available if your household is disconnected from an energy source needled for heating and/or a delivered fuel supplier has refused to deliver and the tank contains 10% or less.
Assistance for reconnection will only be provided to households that have make a good faith effort to maintain their energy services, or can pay a portion of the amount owed for reconnection.
