Energy Assistance
The Low Income Energy Assistance Program provides
a one-time cash payment to help eligible families pay their heating bills (if Federal
funds are available). Food Stamp recipients will automatically get a check, if they
are active at the beginning of the month of October, and are coded to receive based
on the information given to their worker at application or review. Persons may also
come to the Department of Social Services or send a representative to apply. Applications
are taken for a limited period. The eligible households receive a check in early
February, if Federal funds are available.
