Persons seeking assistance may apply for and be awarded a benefit once each program year. The program year begins July 1st and applications are accepted through June 30th of the following year or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. Prior year recipients may not reapply for energy assistance until approximately 11 months after they received their last benefit.

You must submit a new application form every program year. Include proof of ALL income for EVERY PERSON in the household for at least the last thirty (30) days; provide a complete copy of your rental agreement / lease or a copy of your mortgage statement; all household members’ Social Security numbers, and copies of your last heating and electric bills.

Applications are generally processed in the order in which they are received. Processing typically takes 30 days unless extraordinary circumstances exist. Applicants are mailed eligibility / benefit notice on the next regular working day following certification. Applicants who meet specific criteria may have their application expedited (Fast-Track) to alleviate their energy related crisis. Please see Crisis Programs for specific rules.

Applications may be obtained through our office or through one of many Intake Sites around the State. Intake Sites will also provide assistance in completing and mailing applications to our office. For more information please contact us at:
