LIHEAP is a state and federally funded energy assistance program that provides one-time benefits to income eligible households to help with winter energy bills and for reconnection of energy service.  LIHEAP applications are processed through a network of local administering agencies around the state.  The program is administered by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), Office of Community Assistance.

Applicants must bring the following documentation when applying for assistance:

  • Proof of Social Security numbers for ALL household members
  • Proof of gross income from ALL household members for the previous 30-day income period, including the day of application
  • A copy of current heat and electric bills issued within the last 30 days (if they pay for energy directly)
  • If applicant has received assistance from the Illinois Department of Human Services, proof of TANF or other benefits, such as Medical Eligibility or SNAP is required

A single-person household can qualify with a gross (before taxes) monthly income of up to $1,561; a two-person household up to $2,114; a family of three can earn up to $2,666; and a family of four can earn up to $3,219. Benefits are paid directly to energy vendors on behalf of eligible households. The exception is households whose heating costs are included in their rent.
