MONROE - The Green County's Energy Assistance Program is being offered to those needing help with fuel costs.
As of Oct. 1, eligible households will receive a benefit towards their heating and electric usage that is sent directly to the heating and electric vendors used by the household. These benefits are designed to pay part of the yearly energy costs for a household.
Energy Assistance eligibility is based on the income of the household (no asset test) and the income chart can be used to determine if people are eligible for the program. The previous three month's income will be used to determine eligibility for Energy Assistance.
The income guidelines for the 2012-13 Wisconsin Home Energy Program heating season are:
