LIEAP expanded in response to gas bills
The Kansan
As high utility bills due to the recent polar vortex loom, Gov. Laura Kelly announced this week an expansion of the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP).
Income eligibility requirements have been increased and the deadline to apply for assistance has been extended in response to a spike in natural gas prices in February reported to go from $3 a unit to more than $620 a unit for member cities of the Kansas Municipal Gas Association.
“We know that many people face higher than normal energy bills because of the unprecedented winter weather in February,” Kelly said. “Today, I am announcing further steps that will allow more Kansans to take advantage of the LIEAP program to pay their utility bills. My administration will remain in communication with our federal and local partners to protect Kansans from the impacts of extreme cold temperatures.”
