Nevada LIHEAP
Nevada’s Energy Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to help qualifying low-income Nevadans with their heating and electric costs.
Eligibility for assistance is based on your annual gross income and the size of your household, household heating source, and type of residence.
Eligible households receive an annual one-time-per-year benefit called a “fixed annual credit” customarily paid directly to their energy provider(s).
The annual one-time credit can range from $360 to $3,136 per benefit year depending on the total household income and energy costs.
