Households must meet all program guidelines to qualify for assistance. In addition, there must be an emergency that will cause disruption to the home's primary heating source if not met.

Customers whose primary source of heat is either gas or electricity must bring their cut-off notice with them when applying for emergency LIEAP.

Households using primary heating sources or bulk fuel may qualify for assistance if their heating fuel is at a low level during the application period.

Examples of bulk fuel are coal, wood, liquid petroleum and fuel oil.
