Human services: LIHEAP application window closed; payments continuing
Summary
Jennifer Kirby of human services told the Community Service Committee the LIHEAP application deadline closed in December, but payments continue to be issued and incomplete applications are being followed up.
Jennifer Kirby presented the human services report and answered council questions on LIHEAP eligibility and payments. Kirby confirmed the LIHEAP application deadline closed in December and said payments "have been continually going out since probably several months back." She added that staff are processing applications that came in last month, approving complete applications and notifying applicants if documents are missing or applications are incomplete.
Councilors asked for clarification that payments are still being issued despite the closed application window; Kirby reiterated that payments are being distributed and that incomplete applications receive a notice requesting missing documentation. Members of the committee thanked human services staff for after‑hours and weekend assistance to constituents with urgent needs.
