Energy Assistance

Here’s what you will need to qualify:

Once our Summer/Fall program begins, eligible clients may apply for help with gas, electric, oil, or other delivered fuel once per program year.

Earn up to 75% State Median Income (SMI), which clients verify by submitting pay stubs or other income documentation from the past 4 weeks.

Apply for 1 grant per year, up to $500, to pay electricity, gas, or delivered fuel bill. Example: If you last applied on 10/1/23, you would next be eligible on 10/1/24.

For utility assistance (gas, electric), clients must show they made at least 4 payments in the past year. Note: payments do not have to be the last 4 months, and don’t need to be 4 months in a row.

Client must owe a past due amount; Operation Fuel does not provide bill credits.

Energy applicants may also qualify for water assistance in the same year.
