3-003.01H1c Budgeting Households Receiving NLIEAP Payments

475 NAC 3-003.01H1c

The household is entitled to the SUA based on an NLIEAP payment when the following conditions apply:

1. The household received one NLIEAP payment for the current residence during the current NLIEAP year; or

2. It is anticipated the household will receive an NLIEAP payment for the current residence during the current NLIEAP year.

Eligibility for the SUA based on the receipt of an NLIEAP payment applies only for the physical residence of the household at the time they were determined eligible for the NLIEAP payment.

When a household in the CR reporting category moves, the eligibility for the SUA cannot be based on the receipt of the NLIEAP payment at the previous physical address. The SUA must be determined using the current physical address and current household circumstances. Households in the SR or TBR reporting categories are not required to report a move. If the SR household reports a move, the eligibility for the SUA cannot be based on the receipt of the NLIEAP payment at the previous physical address. The SUA must be determined using the current physical address and current household circumstances.

The SUA is allowed in the budget based on the SUA year. The SUA year is from October 1 through September 30. Allow the SUA in the budget until October 1 or until the certification period expires whichever comes later, unless the household moves and is no longer eligible for the SUA. The use of the SUA is the same regardless if the household received a heating and/or cooling payment. The case file must contain documentation to support the use of the SUA based on the receipt or anticipated receipt of the NLIEAP payment. In order to anticipate that a household will receive a NLIEAP payment, the household must have filed an energy application and be determined eligible for payment.
