CHARLESTON, WV  – The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) announced, in a news release, that applications for the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) will be accepted beginning Monday, April 24, and ending at the close of business on Friday, April 28, or until funds are exhausted. The federally funded program assists eligible state residents in paying home heating bills.

Eligibility for LIEAP benefits is based on income, household size, and whether the household is responsible for paying its heating bill. To qualify, households must meet all program guidelines, which include an applicant’s annual income being  at or below 60 percent of the State Median Income. In situations where a heating emergency exists, applicants must be seen by a DHHR worker.

For each additional person, add $590. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum amount are not eligible; however, some types of income may be excluded from LIEAP.

Applications may be obtained at local DHHR offices, community action agencies, or senior centers operated by an Area Agency on Aging.  Applications are also available online at www.wvpath.wv.gov.

All applications must be received by DHHR or postmarked by April 28, 2023.  Completed applications should be delivered or mailed to the DHHR office located in the applicant’s county of residence. A list of local offices may be found at https://dhhr.wv.gov/bcf/Pages/MapList.aspx or by calling 304-356-4619.

Mailing the application to any other office or a utility company may delay the receipt by DHHR and prohibit the processing of the application.
