When Do HEAP Applications Open in New York?
Governor Hochul demands immediate release of $400 million federal heating aid to protect 1.5 million low-income New York households as winter approaches.
- On Monday, Governor Kathy Hochul and Rep. Paul Tonko demanded the Trump Administration immediately release $400 million in HEAP funds so New York can begin accepting applications on Nov. 24.
- After a 43-day federal shutdown, the release of Home Energy Assistance Program funds was delayed and, though reopened, the Trump Administration has not yet released the money.
- Officials note the Home Energy Assistance Program supports about 1.5 million households with one-time utility payments, and the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance can open HEAP applications within 48 hours of receiving federal funds.
- As a result, without federal funds, New York cannot accept HEAP applications or issue payments, so Governor Kathy Hochul's administration ordered utility companies to maintain EAP discounts while preparing for payments.
- Stefanik said, `Throughout my decade in Congress, I have delivered LIHEAP funding consistently and voted to keep it funded—unlike New York’s Far Left Democrat Party who cheered on the Schumer shutdown that Kathy Hochul aided and abetted.
