Utility Assistance



Missouri Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

Energy Assistance (EA) & Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) are two components of LIHEAP

ENERGY ASSISTANCE (EA)
The EA program pays on primary bill only. In the month of October we only accept applications for the elderly (60+) and disabled. Grant amounts are determined by household size and income. This grant is awarded once a program year. Applicants may apply by mail, fax or come into the office. Customer is responsible for completing energy application and providing hard documentation needed for processing. Once an application has been submitted and determined eligible, that application is good for the entire program year (October 1st thru September 30th). A new application will be required if the customer has moved or changed vendors.

ENERGY CRISIS INTERVENTION PROGRAM (ECIP)
The application and guidelines are the same as EA. Once an application has been submitted and determined eligible, that application is good for the entire program year (October 1st thru September 30th). ECIP will pay on primary &/or secondary heating bills if they are in threat of being disconnected, disconnected or cash on delivery.
