not eligible to receive any type of Emergency Assistance.Note that renters as defined by
LIHEAP are Households who pay for their heating included in non-subsidized rent, therefore
not eligible to receive EA. Anyone who rents a unit and pays for full heating costs is eligible
to receive HEA and therefore emergency assistance.

not eligible to receive HEA or any emergency assistance. The maximum amount of Emergency
Assistance for natural gas, electric, oil, propane and other deliverable fuels is a one-time
assistance of up to $450. The maximum amount of Emergency Assistance to prevent
disconnection on non heating electric accounts continues to be up to $200.
Agencies will grant the maximum emergency assistance benefit amount when the shut off
notice indicates that an amount over $450 is needed to prevent service disconnection. The
maximum amount of EA will be approved only when and if the agency receives assurance
from the utility company that the said maximum EA amount will prevent a service
disconnection.
