House Appropriations report for H.R. 9260 lists LIHEAP FY2026 enacted at $4,045,000,000, the FY2027 budget request at $0, and the Committee Recommendation at $4,055,000,000, a +$10,000,000 change from enacted and +$4,055,000,000 from the request. The report was committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered printed.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The House-reported FY2027 Labor-HHS bill rejects the administration's proposed elimination and recommends a small increase for LIHEAP, but this is committee-reported legislation rather than enacted FY2027 funding. No newer official enactment or reversal was found in the Aug. 20-22, 2026 lookback.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Gonzalez materially pursued the promise during the relevant federal House term by joining a formal FY2027 appropriations request urging leaders to reject the administration's proposed LIHEAP elimination and fund it at the highest possible level. The House-reported FY2027 Labor-HHS bill also rejected the $0 request and recommended $4.055 billion, a small increase over FY2026 enacted funding. However, that was committee-reported legislation, not enacted FY2027 appropriations, so the promised funding outcome has not been fully delivered yet.
