What it does
The LIHEAP Parity Act would amend the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 to improve the formula for allocating federal energy assistance funds to states by removing a restrictive clause in the current allotment formula and requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations specifying the calculation method, data sources, and update frequency for state allotments. The bill aims to ensure more accurate and equitable distribution of LIHEAP funds by standardizing how states receive assistance based on updated and reliable data. It affects state agencies administering LIHEAP and the Administration for Children and Families, which would be responsible for implementing the new calculation method. The bill does not change funding levels but seeks to improve the fairness and precision of how existing funds are allocated.
