LIHEAP

Maine officials said it's business as usual for the remaining weeks of the home heating season, but it's unclear whether staffing cuts at the federal office that administers the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program mean that its future is in jeopardy.

Republican Representative Chad Perkins says constituents have told him that they called to apply for LIHEAP benefits in September, but didn't get appointments until March and June.

While the proposal won't provide immediate relief against rising electricity rates in Maine, state officials said the changes could streamline the process down the road.
