From the meeting
DSS reported it was working with Connecticut's federal delegation to advocate an additional $3 billion in LIHEAP funding, which would raise the national appropriation from about $4 billion to $7 billion. DSS also said it was coordinating with Commissioner Barton Reeves and OPM to assess state responses if prices rise further. The discussion tied the request to winter heating costs and fuel availability.
No contract was awarded.
