We will begin taking calls on Monday, December 20, for the elderly 60 years of age and older from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and for the general public from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
An eligible house hold is one whose total income is at or below the levels listed in the table below. Applicants must provide, at a minimum, the following documentation at the time the application is taken: (1) copies of each household member’s actual social security card, (2) current proof(s) of income of all household members, (3) a copy of the CURRENT (30 days) energy bill (gas & electric), (4) a current driver’s license or pictured I.D. of the applicant matching the current address, and (5) another bill and/or document matching the address on the energy bill, if the driver’s license or pictured I.D. is not current. If it is determined additional documentation is required, the applicant will be notified at the time of application. Households reporting “Zero Income” may be required to provide additional documentation. All information provided is subject to verification. Intentional misrepresentation of information may result in criminal prosecution of the applicant and anyone assisting in the misrepresentation.
