Help with heating bills available





People who are struggling to pay home-heating costs may qualify for financial help through the state’s Low- Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

Income eligibility has been expanded from 135 percent to 150 percent of the federal poverty level. A family of four with an annual income of up to $30,000 can now qualify. The new income limits mean that an additional 67,000 Pennsylvania families are eligible.

Payments are still sent directly to the utility or fuel dealer, with the payment credited to the person’s bill. Additional money is available to individuals if they are in jeopardy of losing their heat.

Grants are based on family size, income, type of heating fuel and location.

For more information, call 486-3757 in Cameron County or 274-4900 in Potter County. Information is also available by calling toll-free 1-866-857- 7095.
