The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Recovery Crisis Program helps Pennsylvanians during the COVID-19 public health crisis. DHS is working with utility companies and deliverable fuel vendors to help Pennsylvanians at risk of losing access to electric, natural gas, or deliverable fuels such as oil, pay utility bills, and maintain access to home energy services.
LIHEAP Recovery Crisis benefits may be available if a household:
🔥Has their main or secondary energy source completely shut-off
📆Is notified that their utility service will be shut off in the next 60 days
🛠Has broken energy equipment or leaking lines that must be fixed or replaced
🌡Is in danger of being without fuel in 15 days or less.
💳Owes funds to a utility provider that would constitute a service termination if not for the Public Utility Commission’s moratorium on terminations.
