The Subsidy component provides households with a one-time benefit awarded based on a household’s income level, housing category, and heating fuel type.


All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at the time of application:


  • Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
  • Proof of all household’s (all members) income from the preceding month.
  • Most current electric bill, statement from your landlord if electric is included in your rent, statement from utility company if you participate in a Pre-Pay Electric Program.
  • The account number and name on the account for main heating fuel sources and electric bill.

Fall Subsidy DOES NOT require a disconnect notice, a past due bill or eviction notices. The Subsidy benefit can be applied as a credit on your account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect household’s eligibility.
