The Department of Administration is making changes to eligibility requirements for the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Eligibility will be now based on the household’s previous month of income, rather than the previous three months. The move was made to ensure those who are recently impacted by the COVID-19 response are able to receive assistance quickly.
The majority of Wisconsin households use natural gas; however, there are still homes throughout the state that employ alternative fuels such as wood, propane and heating oil. WHEAP is able to provide financial assistance to households for most fuel types, with payments made directly to heat and electric suppliers on behalf of an eligible household.
DOA’s March 27 announcement comes after the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin directed regulated utilities to stop utility disconnection for nonpayment for all customers.
Residents can apply for WHEAP assistance through county social/human service offices, tribal governments and private non-profit agencies. In Douglas County, call 715-395-1304 to apply.
As a public service, we've opened this article to everyone regardless of subscription status.
