You can get a single LIHEAP benefit based on your income and household size, as well as reconnection assistance if eligible for disconnection, once per program year (September 2021-May 2022) or until funds are exhausted.
Or you can get a recurring monthly PIPP benefit based on your income and household size. Household income must be re-certified at least once per year to remain in the program. As of September 21, 2021, new PIPP applications are being accepted based on the funds each county has available. Applications are available on a first-come, first-served basis through March 31, 2022, or until funds are exhausted.
You may not receive both LIHEAP and PIPP in the same program year. For both programs, if you are new or re-enrolling, you must ensure your 30-day household gross income meets the income guidelines.
