+description: Kentucky uses the federal poverty guidelines from this many years before the federal fiscal year's ending year for the cooling subsidy income limit under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
+# The summer fact sheet's limits are 150% of the 2026 guidelines:
+# 15,960 * 1.5 / 12 = 1,995 for one person, and 5,680 * 1.5 / 12 = 710 for

+    statute: The lowest-income household receives the highest benefit (Section 4(1)(c)), and for cooling plan item
+      3.4 says "The highest benefits are awarded to the lowest income household size". Section 4(3)(c)2's cooling
+      ceilings rise with income for subsidized housing ($100 up to 100% of poverty, $200 from 101% to 150%) and fall
+      for nonsubsidized housing ($400, then $300).
+    other: Subsidized income points rise as 1, 2, 3 and 4 with income, for heating and for cooling (cooling of $41,
+      $45, $51 and $56 for one person).
+  example: A one-person subsidized household in the lowest income band gets $41 of cooling under the workbook
+    (points 1 plus 1 plus 6 = 8, ceil(134 x 0.3)); under the regulation's ordering, with 4 income points, it would
+    get ceil(184 x 0.3) = $56.
