New HEEHRA Single Family Rebate Reservations Now Open & New Income Eligibility Process
April 16, 2025
Starting today, we are now accepting reservations and income verification applications for single family HEEHRA rebates in Southern and Central California. In addition, there's a new income eligibility process for this program.
Key HEEHRA Rebate Updates
New customers are now able to submit income qualification applications starting today. The income eligibility process has been updated. Existing income verification applications submitted to heehra-incomeportal.com will be processed starting today for Central and Southern California customers.
Contractors are now able to submit reservation requests for customers in Central and Southern California. The HEEHRA rebates budget for Northern California is fully reserved and is not accepting new income verifications or reservation requests. The budget table has been updated to reflect these changes.
To provide further protection to consumers and contractors, the HEEHRA rebate program will not allow the installation of any heat pump HVAC before the project has received an approved reservation.
Two New Options for Verifying Single Family Income Eligibility
Today, we are launching a new income eligibility tool – Eligibility Express, giving single family customers and contractors quicker access to the information they need for qualifying their income.
Eligibility Express is a new income qualification tool that makes it faster and easier for California homeowners to check their eligibility for single family HEEHRA rebates. Most applicants will receive an approval or denial notice via email or text in just one day. Customers can also now receive their eligibility code without first selecting a contractor.
Customers should use the Eligibility Express if they do not require translation support and are enrolled and active in Medi-Cal or CalFresh (SNAP) or have their 2023-24 tax forms available.
Customers can continue to use the Eligibility+Support tool (formerly known as the HEEHRA Rebates Verification Portal) if they require translation support, do not already participate in Medi-Cal or CalFresh, or do not have a recent tax form available.
