Energy Assistance
North Carolina’s Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) helps eligible households pay their heating bills by issuing a one-time payment to the household’s heating vendor. LIEAP funds are available beginning December 1, 2018 until March 31, 2019, or until funds are exhausted. Households including a person age 60 or older, or an individual receiving disability benefits and services from the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services, are eligible to apply beginning December 1, 2018. All other households can apply beginning January 1, 2019. To qualify, a household must meet the following criteria:
Have at least one U.S. citizen or non-citizen who meets the eligibility criteria
Meet an income test
Have reserves at or below $2,250
Be responsible for its heating bills
Interested households should contact their county Department of Social Services (DSS) to apply.
LIEAP can help ease the financial burden some patients experience, and in turn, make it easier for them to purchase medications and manage their health conditions. Health centers can use this poster (available in English and Spanish) to inform patients and community members about LIEAP. Learn more about LIEAP.
