Heating Assistance

WHEAP Heating Assistance is a one-time benefit payment for each heating season (October 1 through May 15).  It is intended to help you pay a portion of your heating costs.  it is not intended to cover the entire annual cost of your home heating costs.

The amount of heating assistance benefit depends on your household size, income level and household heating costs.

Your Heating Assistance benefit will be sent directly to your fuel supplier.  You will receive a notification from the Division of Energy informing you of your benefit amount.  Your vendor will credit the amount to your account.
