The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) can help you pay your heat and electric bills! EAP is a federally-funded program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) called the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). EAP provides a one-time annual benefit that can assist you with the high cost of home energy and can help if you are disconnected, or are about to get disconnected. However, an EAP benefit will not cover all of your annual heating and electrics costs, so you should continue to pay your bills regularly.
To be eligible, customers must have a gross (before tax) income at or below 60 percent of the state’s median income. Visit the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority website for a detailed breakdown of income qualifications and program guidelines.
Apply online for EAP. If you are about to be disconnected or are already disconnected, you are advised to contact your local service provider for an appointment rather than applying online. Visit the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority website to find your local service provider.
