Section 2605(b)(2)(B) of the LIHEAP statute establishes the maximum income level allowed in determining LIHEAP eligibility as the greater of 150 percent of the poverty level or 60 percent of a State's median income.
As of February 1, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) will begin the transition from use of the SF-269, Financial Status Report (Short Form or Long Form) to the use of the SF-425 Federal Financial Report for expenditure reporting. SF-269s will no longer be accepted for expenditure reports due after that date. If an SF-269 is submitted, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will return it and require the recipient to complete the SF-425.
Grantees must complete an application for CSBG funds.
The application requires an annual or biannual plan for the expenditure of these funds.
The following assurances must be adhered to in the formulation of the CSBG plan.
All applications are reviewed against these assurances. (Failure to provide an assurance can delay or even deny funding. These assurances are embodied in the CSBG legislation and are therefore mandated by the Congress).
Assets for Independence (AFI) grantees—and their subgrantees—must acknowledge Federal funding when in all publications that describe services and activities that are funded in whole or in part with their AFI grant. Acknowledging that AFI provides financial support to your program not only helps readers to see your program as part of a vibrant community of AFI grantees, but also encourages others to learn more about AFI and possibly apply for a grant of their own.
The authorizing statute for the LIHEAP program (Title XXVI of Public Law 97-35, as amended) and the implementing regulations (45 CFR Part 96) contain deadlines and due dates that grant recipients must meet in administering the LIHEAP program.
