The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary's annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. Over the years, the LIHEAP statute, as amended, has expanded the household data requirements. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report which consists of the following: (1) Long Format and (2) Short Format. OCS requests that OMB approval of the LIHEAP Household Report be extended from FY 2016 through FY 2018 to include an unduplicated count of: • Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP assistance; • Assisted and applicant households, by type of LIHEAP assistance and poverty level; • Assisted households receiving nominal payments of $50 or less; • Assisted households receiving only utility payment assistance; this information will automatically be transferred to the grantee's Performance Data Form. • Assisted households, regardless of the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance, excluding households that only receive nominal payments of $50 or less; • Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, having at least one member 60 years or older, disabled, or five years old or younger; • Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, with at least one member age 2 years or under; • Assisted households, by type of LIHEAP assistance, with at least one member ages 3 years through 5 years; and • Assisted households, regardless of the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance, having at least one member 60 years or older, disabled, or five years old or younger. The purpose of the non-substantive and time sensitive changes to the LIHEAP Household Report is to meet statutory requirements related to the CARES Act stimulus funding and potential other supplemental funding from Congress.
