Individuals who received Low Income Energy Assistance Program funds in the 2023 program year will soon receive a supplemental payment.
The payment will range from $25 to $47 and will be based on the amount of LIEAP assistance paid to the utility provider or to the client for bulk fuel.
The supplemental payment will be issued to the company that provided the main heating source for the individual’s home (i.e., electric company, gas company, etc.). Individuals who received LIEAP for bulk fuel will receive a check by mail.
This is a one-time payment. All clients should receive payment by mid-October, said a spokesman for the Dept. of Health and Human Resources.
