The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has scheduled the hearing for Aug. 4 in the Nebraska State Office Building in Lincoln. It is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.  The hearing will allow department officials to collect input on
the proposed Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program that is submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services each year. The plan describes Nebraska’s program and defines its eligibility requirements and benefit guidelines.
