LIHEAP funds are delayed by the 2025 shutdown, risking utility shutoffs as costs rise and aid is still being processed.
Federal funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) remains delayed due to the October–November 2025 government shutdown, with disbursement expected by the end of November.
The delay, compounded by staffing shortages and rising energy costs—electricity up 10–11% and natural gas up 8%—has left millions at risk of utility shutoffs.
State agencies and 31 senators have urged faster action, while recipients are advised to negotiate payment plans with utilities.
Crisis assistance is still available, and applications continue to be processed.
