Energy Assistance
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Energy Assistance helps low-income South Dakotans pay for home heating costs. Keep in mind, energy assistance may not pay for all of your home heating cost.
Eligibility:
- you must apply
- your total gross income may not exceed maximum income guidelines
- you must be responsible for paying home heating costs
Energy assistance funds are distributed on a first-come basis. Eligibility and assistance amounts are based on the number of people in your home, income of everyone in your home, type and cost of heating and where you live. If you are eligible, the payment is made to your energy supplier.
Emergency Components (October 1 – March 31):
Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP). To qualify for ECIP energy assistance, the household must be income eligible and in a crisis, such as:
- have a current disconnection notice for the primary heat source;
- be cash-on-delivery, or refusal to deliver with less than 20% in tank; or
- have an eviction notice for non-payment if heat is included in rent or paid in addition to rent.
