Westar Energy Assists Customers with LIEAP Applications
Employees partner with agencies in Kansas cities over coming weeks.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 24, 2014 — Westar Energy customer advisers are assisting Low
Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) applicants over the upcoming weeks throughout
the company’s service territory.
On-site application assistance is an outreach program that assists individuals who need
help completing their LIEAP application. Applications are being accepted through March 31,
2014. A Westar Energy customer adviser will be available at The Good Shepherd 304 E. 4th ,
Tonganoxie, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., Jan. 28. The full schedule for application assistance is
available at http://www.westarenergy.com/lieap.
“According to DCF-LIEAP staff, several thousand applications are rejected annually due
to an incomplete application or failing to provide supporting documents in order to qualify for
LIEAP benefits,” Jeff Beasley, vice president, customer care, said. “These on-site events help
individuals understand the application process and what is needed to receive those benefits.”
LIEAP is a federally funded program that helps eligible households pay a portion of their
home energy costs by providing a one-time per year benefit. To learn more about eligibility
requirements or fill out a LIEAP application, visit the Kansas Department for Children and
Families website or call 1-800-432-0043.
