Review of Selected Aspects of Low Income Energy Assistance

GAO reviewed the 1980 Low Income Energy Assistance (LIEA) Program, and examined those Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients who were financially assisted even though they did not pay fuel bills. The North Carolina LIEA program was also examined, with particular emphasis on energy assistance payments to AFDC recipients in public housing and payments to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients.
