Summary:

Provides current law background on interaction between the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP). Provides brief overview of benefit calculation, LIHEAP role in SNAP deductions and benefit calculation, background on LIHEAP, and the practice of so-called "heat and eat." Examines how threshold proposals in the 113th Congress would change current law, and considers impacts of a threshold requirement on households and on program administration.
