Through a block grant, the Federal Government provides funds to States for energy assistance (including weatherization) to low income households. (See the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) topic for additional information.) This assistance may be provided by a variety of agencies (e.g., state or local welfare offices, community action agencies, special energy agencies, etc.) and known by a variety of names (e.g., HEAP, Project Safe, etc.) It is most often provided in a medium other than cash (e.g., voucher, two-party check, direct payment to vendor, etc.) but may be in cash. Such home energy assistance payments or allowances are excluded from income and resources in determining eligibility for Medicaid in the Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) Covered Groups.
Home energy or support and maintenance assistance is excluded from income if it is certified in writing by the Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS) to be both based on need and:
· Provided in kind by a private nonprofit agency; or
· Provided in cash or in kind by a supplier of home heating oil or gas, a rate-of-return entity providing home energy, or a municipal utility providing home energy.
Support & Maintenance is in-kind support and maintenance, or cash provided for the purpose of meeting food, clothing, or shelter needs. It includes home energy assistance.
