Applications will be accepted for this program beginning October 1. All applications must be completed, signed, and received by the county social service board by the close of business on May 31 of each year. If May 31 falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline for receipt of signed applications will be the end of the first working day after May 31. Those households who apply in May have 30 days to provide verifications to complete the application. No amendments to the application may be accepted after May 31. Applicants must reapply each year.
The State reserves the right to terminate the acceptance of new applications at any time prior to May 31 if federal program funds are exhausted.
Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Administration (SSI/SSA), flat grant TANF whose income is fixed may be contacted by the county beginning August 15 to make reapplication for the coming heating season. (These applications will be dated 10/1 in computer.) This shall be at the discretion of the local county social service board.
A complete application includes all information and verifications needed to establish eligibility and compute benefits.
If the application has not been signed, the county does not have a valid application, and it is not necessary to make any data entry on the computer.
