As winter continues, the processing of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) applications is entering a high-volume phase. State agencies are expected to issue a wave of approvals between February 18 and February 22.

This processing window is critical for households with pending applications for heating assistance or crisis grants. During these five days, many status indicators on provider portals will flip from “Pending” to “Approved,” signaling that a direct payment to the utility company is imminent. Applicants should review their accounts now to ensure no documentation is missing.
Disclaimer: Funding availability is limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Approval is subject to meeting strict income guidelines.
