DES MOINES, Iowa — MidAmerican Energy issued its winter energy assistance notice on October 30: general applications for the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in Iowa opened on November 1 and run through April 30, 2027; applications for people at least 60 years old or disabled began on October 1.
According to the company, Iowa eligibility requires total household income at or below 200 percent of the 2026 federal poverty guidelines: an annual gross income at or below $31,920 for a single-person household and $66,000 for a family of four, with qualifying low-income customers applying for heating assistance through their state agency. Chelsea McCracken, MidAmerican vice president of customer operations, said energy assistance programs such as LIHEAP can help support households facing financial challenges and encouraged customers to apply as early as possible; customers who have received a disconnection notice are encouraged to contact MidAmerican at 888-427-5632 to discuss payment arrangements and assistance options.
