Yes, subsidized rent households responsible for your heating obligation are eligible for LIEAP. Certain restrictions may effect benefit issuance.
Publicly subsidized households whose energy costs are included in rent or who have an obligation to pay a base load electric bill and meet the income guidelines would be eligible for a modified LIEAP benefit. The modified LIEAP benefit would be paid at the rate of 5% of the amount of a regular LIEAP benefit as identified by Montana's LIEAP benefit award matrix. A minimum payment of $25 or 5% whichever is greater would be paid to the household annually. Eligibility would receive an annual benefit for a period of five (5) years if economic and housing situation does not change.
