While it’s been a fairly mild winter, the deadline for the Low Income Energy Assistance program, otherwise known as LIEAP is approaching.
The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services will be accepting applications for LIEAP through Friday, March 30. Applications must be received in the LIEAP Processing Center or a SRS office by close of business on March 30.
LIEAP provides an annual benefit to help qualifying households pay their winter heating bills. The primary groups assisted through the program are people with disabilities, the elderly and families with children. An average benefit of $262.97 will be received by the 40,095 cases processed so far this season.
LIEAP applications are available at local SRS offices or by calling toll-free 1-800-432-0043. Visit www.srs.ks.gov to apply online.
