Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) eligibility requirements include:

• income
• household size
• and responsibility for payment of the home energy cost.

Only one payment per household is allowed per program component. A “household” includes everyone living “under the same roof” with one utility meter. Everyone who uses the same meter or utility must apply together.

If your household includes a citizen of a federally recognized Native Nation, you may apply for energy assistance through Oklahoma Human Services OR with a Native program. A household cannot receive assistance for the same component through OKDHS and a Native program during the same federal fiscal year.

To qualify for energy assistance, you must meet each of the following requirements:

• Be responsible for payment of home energy.
  • Households are not eligible if someone who does not reside at the residence pays the utility bill directly to the provider.

·       Be a United States citizen or legally admitted for permanent residence.

• Meet specific income guidelines according to household size.
