Other Important Information

  • The Energy Assistance Program is NOT an emergency program. It is a program intended to supplement heating costs, not provide year-round coverage
  • Application Cycles: We will open application cycles throughout the year. We will release applications for one day and then close the cycle. Why do we do this? Because it allows for timely processing of completed applications and notices to be sent for those applications that are missing items or need clarification.
  • Service is first come, first serve – There will be NO prioritizing of disconnections or final notices for processing.
  • What should I do if I have a shutoff notice or my utility is disconnected?
    • * Talk to your utility company. Let them know you have submitted an application. They will often call our department to verify.
    • * Make arrangements to go on a manageable payment plan until you receive assistance.
    • * Continue to pay your bill. Please make sure that you are working with your utility company to continue your service while your application is being processed.Income Guidelines
