Question:
How do I apply for heating service and when will I receive
it?
Answer: The Low Income Energy Assistance Program
(LIEAP) program provides a one-time cash payment to help eligible
families pay heating bills. Applications are taken at local county Department of Social Services in the fall and checks are mailed to eligible
households in February.
Question:
How do I receive heating or cooling services in an emergency situation?
Answer: The Crisis Intervention Program (CIP)
provides services to low-income households who are experiencing or
in danger of experiencing a heating or cooling related crisis. A household
must have a net countable income equal to or below 150% of the current
poverty level and include a United States citizen or an eligible alien.
