Section 427.10.7. Energy assistance payments.

No household is entitled to a certain amount or form of assistance from this program. Households must meet the income eligibility guidelines and there must be program funds available before assistance payments can be made. No payments will be made to households that are not responsible for payment of any portion of their heating costs. All payments are contingent upon the availability of federal funds. Both owner-occupied and renter-occupied households will be assisted. The amount of assistance a household may receive depends upon available funding, total household income, household size, dwelling type, type of primary heating fuel the household uses, and whether a household qualifies for a bonus energy assistance award or a crisis assistance award in addition to the basic energy assistance payment.

       10.7(1) Assistance awards. The availability of energy assistance awards shall be based on the amount of the annual Low-Income Home Energy Assistance block grant appropriation and the number of qualifying households and will be described in the state plan each year.

       10.7(3) Deliverable fuels. Rescinded IAB 12/4/96, effective 11/5/96.
