Section 1-10 - Benefit Calculation

(a) The fuel cost standard tables in the LIEAP State Plan shall be used to determine household benefits. The tables provide the average cost of home energy allowed in the State for each type of fuel consumed by a recipient.

(b) The average low-income usage for natural gas, electricity, fuel oil, propane, coal and wood is based on cubic feet, kilowatts, cords, tons and gallons depending on the fuel type. Figures were obtained from fuel providers and the Public Service Commission and are a reasonable average for each fuel type.

(c) Payment is based on an entitlement as specified in the LIEAP State Plan.

(d) LIEAP or Crisis benefit computed to be less than Ten Dollars ($10.00) shall not be authorized for payment.

(e) Renters are considered to pay the same heating costs as other households. Therefore, they receive assistance based on the standard benefit formula.
