Help for Home Heating Aid Applications Begins
New York state residents will be able to apply for $372 million in federal home heating assistance starting Tuesday.
The Home Energy Assistance Program, or HEAP, helps lower- and middle-income people heat their homes. Applications will be accepted by local social service departments. Eligible household can receive a one-time regular HEAP benefit of up to $726.
Anyone living outside of New York City can apply for a regular HEAP benefit online at myBenefits.ny.gov. New York City residents can download the application and mail it in.
Assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
