The Department of Human Services announced it is extending the deadline to apply for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) Program until April 30.  It had been set to close on April 9.

The criteria to apply remains the same.  Applications can be submitted to the same places.

Just as a reminder, applications for LIHEAP, and other public assistance programs can be submitted online at www.compass.state.pa.us.

For those who prefer to submit a paper application, options are available. Although County Assistance Offices (CAO) remain closed, paper applications are available for pick-up.

Applications can also be printed from the website, or requested by phone at 1-800-692-7462 and mailed to their local CAO or placed in a CAO’s secure drop box, if available. Applicants do not need to know your own eligibility in order to apply.
