Kansas Department of Commerce
The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services will be accepting applications for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program from Wednesday, January 18 through March 30th.
The program provides an annual benefit to help qualifying households pay winter heating bills. Individuals with disabilities, elderly persons, and families with children are the primary groups assisted. An average benefit of $263 was provided to 62,000 households in 2011. To qualify, applicants must be responsible for direct payment of their heating bills. Income eligibility guidelines are set at 130 percent of the federal poverty level. Applications for the program have been mailed to households who received energy assistance last year, along with other targeted low-income families, including those who received food, cash or medical assistance in December. Applications are available at local SRS offices or can be requested by calling toll-free 1-800-432-0043. Visit
www.srs.ks.gov to apply online.
