The CAPs provide Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assistance from November 1st to March 31st to residents at or below 60 % of RI median income. They determine income eligibility View the Low income guidelines » and, based on household income, make direct payments on your behalf to your heating to help with energy bills or restore gas or electric service.
If you are receiving food stamp benefits you may qualify for additional food stamp benefits through special Heating Assistance rules. The RIOER will send a $1.00 H-EAT payment in November 2008 to households that the Department Human Services (DHS) identifies as eligible.
The payment will allow eligible low-income households to qualify for increased food stamp benefits because special rules allow Heating Assistance recipients to have food stamp income calculated using higher shelter costs.
