The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program payments will be arriving in 14 days for Arkansas residents who applied and were approved to receive the payments.
Low-income eligible beneficiaries can expect financial assistance for their energy bills from LIHEAP starting July 10. Payments will be made through direct deposit or by check.Over a dozen counties will be issued payments for the summer, as announced by the Central Arkansas Development Council. Those counties are Calhoun, Clark, Columbia, Dallas, Hempstead, Hot Spring, Howard, Lafayette, Little River, Lonoke, Miller, Montgomery, Nevada, Ouachita, Pike, Pulaski, Saline, Sevier, and Union.
During the summer season, cooling costs account for more than 55% of an average customer’s electric bill, according to Entergy Arkansas, a leading energy company for the Delta area. The amount of assistance depends on a number of factors, including the number of people in a home, household income, and the size of the cooling bill. The maximum amount of relief for cooling that residents can receive is $475, and the minimum cooling payment is $48. Exact figures displaying monthly income limits can be located through the CADC chart.Arkansas LIHEAP offers two options for benefit payments to interested residents.
To apply for LIHEAP, households must file through the organization that operates within the county they live. The deadline to apply for LIHEAP is Sept. 30, 2023, and additional application information can be found on the CADC website.
