Heating assistance applications available

Wyoming's LIEAP (lee-ap) Program will begin accepting applications Sept. 1 to help people pay their home heating bills from Oct. through May.

Intended Audience: General Public

Reservation Required: Yes

Cost: Free

Contact: Wyoming Family Services

Phone: (800)457-3659

Additional Information: Last year, thousands of families and elders were helped with the program, which is federally funded. A single person grossing $1,893 a month or $22,710 a year qualifies for LIEAP, as does a couple earning $2,475 a month or $29,698 annually. To learn more about the income qualifications visit www.dfsweb.state.wy.us today. (You can print an application from that site after Sept. 1.) To get an application, ask your utility company, visit your local senior center or local Wyoming Department of Family Services' office. If you'd like DFS to mail you an application, or if you have any questions about LIEAP, please call 1-800-457-3659 or 307-777-7564. (If you participated in the program last year, we will automatically send you an application later this month.) While people can apply anytime before Feb. 28, 2010, for most it makes sense to apply sooner rather than later.
