DES LIHEAP / Power AZ utility assistance

Arizona Department of Economic Security

Arizona households meeting LIHEAP energy-need, income and citizenship or immigration requirements. Current DES Nutrition Assistance or Cash Assistance enrollment can establish LIHEAP income eligibility; other requirements still apply. Power AZ funds are exhausted. DES does not accept or process Power AZ applications submitted after September 21, 2026; applications submitted by that date remain subject to review. LIHEAP assistance is separate and not guaranteed.

HOW TO START

Apply for LIHEAP on the DES website. Mention any shutoff notice. Power AZ is closed to new applications.

Research notes and sources

Latest source review:

Unconfirmed

Each detail keeps its own check date. A newer review does not renew older information.

WHAT WE CHECKED

Latest source check

5/5 key fields documentedNo conflict recordedAvailability unknown

Confirm details before relying on them; a source recheck is due.

What was checked · sources & limits

Count covers purpose, eligibility, service area and how to start—not hours or current availability.

Recorded fields: 4 of 4. This is a completeness count, not a rating.

Source review due

Dates vary by field. This latest source date does not mean every detail was checked that day, or that a provider confirmed availability.

Earliest recorded recheck date:

Information completeness, not a provider rating or availability guarantee. A newer source check does not renew older claims or schedules. The review date is the earliest applicable valid deadline.

Review status uses retained claim and routing-schedule deadlines at the later of now or your selected time. Unknown deadlines stay unknown. No source has been rechecked by this calculation.

This completeness snapshot does not describe the current review state shown above. Use the latest source check and current recheck date in this evidence card for the record’s present status.

The snapshot counts four recorded source-supported fields, including documented limitations. It did not re-read sources or contact providers. The claim-only Evidence Lens and routing schedules retain separate provenance.

Source trail

Source references traceable

7/7 supported claims resolve to dated HTTPS source records. This audit did not re-read those sources.

Review timetable at audit

Within recorded timetable at audit

No recorded deadline passed; earliest review due 2026-09-24. This does not establish present availability.

Conflicting instructions

None recorded; not independently confirmed

No source conflict is recorded; sources were not re-read to establish that they agree.

Provider confirmation

Not recorded

No dated provider observation is recorded in the audited catalog. Current availability and service outcomes are unconfirmed. This dimension is outside the coverage count.

Evidence Lens
See the evidence behind the confidence.

We show five separate checks: how to start, eligibility, service area, hours, and documents. “Supported” means the claim has recorded support. “Unknown” means a gap remains. “Conflicting” means the sources need reconciliation. These are evidence labels, not a percentage chance of getting help.

These are recorded claim states and their own review dates, shown in Arizona time. A supported claim or a review not yet due does not confirm that this step is usable today.

What still needs confirmation

  • Power AZ funds are exhausted. DES does not accept or process Power AZ applications submitted after September 21, 2026; applications submitted by that date remain subject to review. LIHEAP assistance is separate and not guaranteed.

No capacity guarantee: published information does not confirm a bed, funding, admission, or current availability.

Ask the provider: Can you confirm the current intake process, eligibility, service area, hours, required documents, and whether help is available?
