As in effect on June 1, 2008
Program benefits are limited to a one time payment, per household, per program year. If an applicant household contains anyone who has already received a HEAT benefit in any other household during that program year, the application will be denied.
The energy assistance benefit payment level is based on a household's income and energy burden (energy burden is the proportion of a household's income used to pay for home heating). For example, households with the lowest income and the highest energy burden will receive the highest energy assistance benefit payment available. Households with children under age six years, the elderly (age 60 plus years), and/or disabled people may receive an additional energy assistance benefit amount.
1. Direct client payments will be made only when a contract with the primary heat source cannot be obtained or if the primary heat source is the landlord.
1. If the primary heat source's payment account is current, up to 50% of the HEAT payment may be made to the client. Payment dispersements may be split only in the percentages listed below:
a. 100%
b. 50%/50%
c. 75%/25%
