(A) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
(B) Oregon Energy Assistance Program (OEAP)
(C) Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (LIWAP)
(b) A homeowner will be considered eligible if the homeowner provides the Department an eligibility notice for the homeowner’s household that has been received in the past seven months for one of the following Oregon Department of Human Services or Oregon Health Authority programs:
(A) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
(B) Oregon Health Plan (OHP) (Medicaid)
(C) Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP; this option is available only for households consisting of six or fewer people)
(c) A homeowner will be considered eligible if the homeowner provides the Department with an Oregon Department of Revenue tax transcript for each tax filer residing at the household for the most recent tax filing year immediately preceding the current year, or the transcript for the year prior if the tax return for the most recent tax filing year has not yet been filed, that demonstrates their household income is less than or equal to 100 percent of state median income adjusted for household size.
(2) The Department will provide low- or moderate-income eligibility certification forms to contractors. For each installation where the customer claims eligibility for the rebate rate for low- or moderate-income residential customers, all legal owners of the property must sign the form, certifying that the information is accurate. The contractor must submit a scanned copy of the form and accompanying documentation under paragraph (1)(b) or paragraph (1)(c), if applicable, to the Department as part of the reservation application.
