The neediest United States citizens may soon have a new help. The United States Government is offering a form of help so that you can pay your electric and gas bills and have less financial problems. If you are eligible you could have this help soon and you could be able to pay your bills without problems.
Thus, energy bills can be paid for those citizens in need. Check both the eligibility criteria and the possibility of getting more than one of these helps. If you are eligible, you will have access to the money as soon as the United States Government sends it. Either way, check all the facts and apply for financial help as soon as possible.
Help with electricity and gas payments
When it comes to getting help of this kind we have two options. On the one hand, there is LIHEAP. On the other hand, the government also has the WAP help. Both helps are compatible, so we could apply for both if we are eligible.
These are the criteria, according to the official website of the United States Government, to get both LIHEAP and WAP:
- LIHEAP. It will depend on your monthly income, mainly. To find out exactly if you are eligible you should contact the LIHEAP offices.
- WAP. In this case monthly income is also important. But it is also worth noting that if we have another type of help, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), we may be able to access WAP more easily. Even so, to find out if we are eligible we must go to one of the WAP offices.
In addition to all this, we can also get help if our utilities have been disconnected. If we do not pay our bills for a long time, we may lose access to electricity, gas and other services. In that case, each state has a different policy.
