Heap - Home Energy Assistance Program | Ohio Department Of Development
Offers a federally funded program administered by the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) to help eligible low-income Ohioans meet the high costs of home heating. If you are eligible for assistance, the amount of your one-time annual Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) benefit will depend on federal funding levels, how many people live with you, total household income and the primary fuel you use to heat your home. In most cases, the one-time benefit will be a credit applied to your energy bill by your utility company (or fuel vendor). Note: The one-time benefit is typically credited starting in January, depending on when the application was received.
