The HEATS Act would provide money to continue payments under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) during a lapse in discretionary funding. The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Appropriations.
If enacted, the bill would allow LIHEAP payments to continue during a federal funding lapse. The text does not change who qualifies for assistance.
The bill would draw from Treasury funds not otherwise appropriated and provide whatever sums are necessary. It does not specify a dollar amount.
