(KAIR)--Applications for Kansans eligible for financial help with heating homes for the winter will begin to be accepted Tuesday, January 16th.
According to a press release issued by the Kansas Department for Children and Families, the applications are for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, known as LIEAP.
The program provides an annual benefit to help qualifying households pay winter heating bills.
In 2017, nearly 38,000 households received an average benefit of $525. To qualify, applicants must be responsible for direct payment of their heating bills, with income eligibility requirements set at 130 percent of the federal poverty level.
Westar Energy will host a series of workshops across the state to provide on-site support for those filling out an application.
