The LIHEAP Formula: Legislative History and Current Law
The Tier I formula is used to allocate funds when the total LIHEAP regular fund appropriation is less than or equal to the equivalent of a hypothetical FY1984 appropriation of $1.975 billion. Above this level, funds are allocated according to Tier II of the formula, which includes a holdharmless level to prevent certain states from losing LIHEAP funds. Finally, Tier III applies to appropriations at or above $2.25 billion, and includes a second hold-harmless provision, the holdharmless rate. Since FY1986, LIHEAP regular fund appropriations have exceeded the equivalent of an FY1984 appropriation of $1.975 billion in FY2006, when the regular fund appropriation was $2.48 billion; in FY2008, when appropriations slightly exceeded the trigger; in FY2009 through FY2011, when Congress directed that $840 million be distributed according to the "new" LIHEAP formula; and in FY2012, when Congress directed that $497 million be distributed according to the "new" formula. This report will be updated when new formula data are released and when proposed funding levels change. See Appendix C for FY2013 estimated allocations at the President's request level and the level in the Senate Appropriations Committee-passed bill, S. 3295. Bills: S. 3295
