| Low-income West Virginians can get assistance with paying heating bills through a state program, the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program.
The Department of Health and Resources will begin taking applications on Monday.
Households must meet all program guidelines to qualify and be in an emergency situation that will disrupt the primary heating source.
Officials say those whose primary source of heat is either gas or electricity must provide their cut-off notice when applying.
The program will operate until funds are exhausted.
Residents using other primary heating sources or bulk fuel may qualify for assistance if their heating fuel is at a low level during the application period. |
