Description of Program and Relief
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) offers two forms of relief. Energy assistance provides recipients with a one-time payment for primary heating bills from November through March. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) helps recipients pay their fuel bill when their energy is shut off or threatened to be shut off. Winter ECIP is available from November through May, with recipients eligible for a maximum of $800. Summer ECIP is available from June through September, with recipients eligible from a maximum of $300.
In response to COVID-19, the state of Missouri has extended the deadline to apply for both types of LIHEAP assistance from March 31, 2020 to May 31, 2020.
