HR 3876 United States House · 119th Congress

LIHEAP Staffing Support Act

HR 3876, the LIHEAP Staffing Support Act, amends the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act to establish staffing requirements for the program. It requires the Secretary to employ at least 20 full-time staff dedicated to administering LIHEAP, limits contractors to no more than 40% of these staff, and mandates increasing staffing to at least 30 during declared emergencies (as defined under existing law). These provisions directly affect the administrative capacity of the LIHEAP program, which provides energy assistance to low-income households. The bill focuses on ensuring consistent staffing levels to support program delivery, with specific rules for emergency periods lasting up to 180 days.
