The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) statute requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to collect data annually from all LIHEAP grant recipients regarding the status of obligated and unobligated funding (42 U.S.C. § 8626). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which is the agency in HHS that administers LIHEAP, shall not make payment to a grant recipient for a fiscal year (FY) unless the grant recipient has complied with this reporting requirement with respect to the prior fiscal year. The amount held available from a prior FY may not exceed 10% of the funds awarded for that FY [42 U.S.C. § 826(b)(2)(B)]. Funds exceeding 10% shall be reallotted in the following FY to all LIHEAP grant recipients [42 U.S.C. § 8626(b)(1)(C)]. ACF collects the amounts of unobligated funding from LIHEAP grant recipients on the LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report (CRR). According to HHS block grant regulations at 45 CFR § 96.81, the CRR must contain the following information: (1) The amount of funds that the grant recipient requests to hold available for obligation in the following fiscal year, not to exceed 10% of the funds payable to the grant recipient; (2) a statement of the reasons that this amount to remain available will not be used in the fiscal year for which it was allotted; (3) a description of the types of assistance to be provided with the amount held available; and (4) the amount of funds, if any, to be subject to reallotment. The form as approved includes three lines that cover unobligations from the following sources: (1) regular LIHEAP funds, including those reallotted from the prior year; (2) supplemental funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) [Public Law (Pub. L.) 117-58]; and (3) supplemental funds from other sources. The proposed changes include the addition of three lines covering awards from the same sources and minor updates to numbering and wording.
