Guidance on the Interpretation of “Federal Public Benefits” Under the Welfare Reform Law (June 15, 1999) [pdf]

This is a memo pertaining to the revisions on the guidance on the interpretation of “Federal Public Benefits” under the Welfare Reform Law. Its purpose is to amend advice given to Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grantees about the definition of “Federal Public Benefits” for non-qualified aliens under the 1996 Welfare Reform Law for Health and Human Services (HHS) programs, as it applies to use of LIHEAP funds for weatherization of multi-unit buildings.
