The bill would provide funding for payments under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) during a lapse in discretionary funding in fiscal year 2026. Payments would be made at the same rate as in the corresponding month of fiscal year 2025.
If you receive LIHEAP assistance, the bill would allow payments to continue during a federal funding lapse in fiscal year 2026 at the prior year's monthly rate. The bill does not describe changes to eligibility.
The bill would appropriate as much money as needed from the Treasury for these payments. It does not give a specific total amount.
