ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OPENS FOR HEART OF GEORGIA
posted 10/20/11
Households
whose fuel costs are included in their rent are ineligible for assistance.
ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OPENS FOR MIDDLE GEORGIA Posted 10/19/2011Georgia’s regular Energy Assistance Program will
open November 1, 2011, for the homebound and elderly (65 years of age or older)
households, and on December 1, 2011 for all other eligible households, if funds
are still available. Appointments
will be made by phone only. The program provides
financial assistance to low-income, elderly and handicapped households to
help pay their home heating costs. Households participating in the program must meet
income criteria and be responsible for the cost of heating their homes.
To be eligible, households must have an income equal to or less than 60
percent of the state median income guidelines - $21,504 for a one-person
household, $28,116 for two people, $34,728 for three people, $41,340 for four
people, $47,964 for five people, $54,576 for six people, $55,812 for seven
people, or $57,060 for eight
people. Payments
will be made primarily by checks to home energy suppliers for gas, electricity,
wood, coal, or kerosene used in heating a home.
The one-time payments will average about $345 per household. Applicants
should contact their local Neighborhood Service Center at the phone number
listed below to make an appointment or for more information.
The program will close when funds are depleted.
Appointments will be made by phone only.
Applicants
should have proof of income for the last 30 days for all household members.
This proof may be a paycheck stub, or a letter granting public
assistance, Social Security, or unemployment benefits.
Applicants must also have the social security numbers of all household
members 18 years or older (proof of age will also need to be provided during the
month of November), and their most recent utility or fuel bill. Households
whose fuel costs are included in their rent are ineligible for assistance. back to the topMiddle
