Recognizing that there are changes in employment and financial status, you are not under any obligation to inform your State about the recent increase in your household income. However, you would be obliged to inform your State about the additional income if your State has already notified you that you could expect additional LIHEAP benefits this year. The State may consider the additional household income when deciding your eligibility for any future LIHEAP assistance.
If you still have concerns, we suggest you contact your State directly to learn more about its policies with respect to income verification. You can locate your State's LIHEAP office at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheap/grantees/states.html
