From Energy Saver NC income table (2026), checked Nov 13, 2026. The program also still links its older 2025 table. If you are close to a line, ask the program which one it will use. On SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC or energy assistance (LIHEAP) in the last 12 months? The program accepts proof of that in place of income paperwork.
