flickr-nodomain1Earlier this month WE Energies announced that households who are eligible for statewide Energy Assistance funds could begin to apply for help with their energy bills.  New guidelines were passed by the state legislature earlier this year, so its worth taking a look at the guidelines to see if your situation applies.

According to WE Energies, “Families with incomes at or below 60 percent of the state medium income, or making approximately $45,000 for a family of four, may qualify for energy assistance dollars to help pay their energy bills. Customers who have not qualified for energy assistance in the past may qualify now.”

If you qualify, call 1-866-HEATWIS (432-8947), or visit the “Where to Apply” tab on www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov to find your local energy assistance agency.

According to WE Energies, “The benefit amount is determined by factors such as household income, annual energy usage, household size and type of housing unit.  Applicants must bring the following items to the energy assistance agencies to determine eligibility:

  • Proof of income for all household members 18 years or older for the previous three months.
  • Social Security cards for everyone in the household.
  • Current energy bill.
  • If the applicant is a renter and heat is included, a rent certificate or statement from the landlord confirming that heat is included in rent payments.”
