The Kansas Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)
The Kansas Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) is a Federally-funded program that helps eligible households pay a portion of their home energy costs by providing a one-time per year benefit. Benefit levels vary according to the following factors: 1) Household income, 2) number of persons living at the address, 3) type of dwelling, 4) type of heating fuel, and 5) utility rates.
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the state of Kansas and you must need financial assistance for home energy costs.
Visit LIHEAP FAQs for Consumers | The Administration for Children and Families (hhs.gov) if you have more questions.
