There's help
in paying for
heating bills
Low-Income Georgians, Particu¬
larly elderly and disabled people
and families with small children,
can apply for help paying their
home heating bills.
Beginning in November, home
bound and elderly households may
make applications for help. Appli¬
cation intake for all other house¬
holds will begin Dec. 14.
County Departments of Family
and Children Services and Commu¬
nity Action Agencies should be
contacted for information on where
to apply for assistance.
The Ga. Dept, of Human
Resources will help pay Heating
cost for Gas, Electricity, Wood,
COal or Kerosene, say Jim Brophy,
Executive Director. One-time pay¬
ments will be made primarily by
checks issued to home energy sup¬
pliers on behalf of eligible house¬
holds. Under certain conditions,
direct payment will be made to eli¬
gible households.
The one-time payments are
expected to average $123. Benefits
for 1996 will be 24 percent less than
the 1995 benefits.
All eligible households must be A)
responsible for their home Heating
costs, B) at or below 115 percent of
Federal Poverty guidelines, and C)
A U.S. citizen or Legal Alien. The
total income of all household mem¬
bers in counted to determine income
eligibility.
When applying for assistance, per¬
sons must bring proof of income for
all household members who have
had income in the last 30 days.
This can be a paycheck stub, award
letter regarding Public assistance,
social security, unemployment ben¬
efits, etc.
Applicants must also bring the
social security number for each per¬
son in the household who is 18
years or older and the most recent
home heating bill.
House holds whose home heating
energy cost are included in the
rental payment are ineligible for
assistance. These households are
considered to be the least vulnerable
for home energy assistance.
