Help With Heating
The 2009-2010 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) opened on Monday, November 2, 2009. Customers are encouraged to apply immediately for assistance, as funds are limited this year, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The size of the grant is based upon your income and household size. If you are having difficulty paying your heating bills, LIHEAP may be able to help you. If eligible, National Fuel will receive a grant on your behalf to help pay your bill.
If you are applying for a Crisis grant, you will need your shut-off notice or a form from the utility company stating how much is needed in order to have service turned on. The Crisis grants will be available January 4, 2010.
To apply for LIHEAP:
- Call or visit your local County Assistance Office. Be sure to apply in the county where you live.

- Have the following information ready when you apply:
- Names of all household members
- Dates of birth of all household members
- Social Security numbers for all household members

These grants are provided by Pennsylvania through the federally funded Low Income Home Heating Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and are available to renters and homeowners.
