Field notes
The project changes the usual flow of energy assistance by placing LIHEAP funds in an account held in the participant's name rather than sending them directly to MidAmerican Energy. The guide says the balance can be used in any amount and at any time, while research payments remain separate from the benefit. It also specifies that billing and usage data are visible to the study team, but spending outside the energy bill and other bank accounts are not.
