FRANKFORT â Community Action Agencies across Kentucky are now accepting applications for the Crisis Component of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), this includes KCEOC Community Action Partnership, Inc. Open enrollment will run through March 31, 2021, or until designated funds are depleted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Qualified residents should apply at their local Community Action Agencies. To locate your local office, please call 800-456-3452. Many Kentuckians are still struggling from the financial hardships stemming from COVID-19, making the need for LIHEAP even greater this year, said Roger McCann, executive director of Community Action Kentucky. We actively encourage anyone that meets the eligibility requirements of the LIHEAP Crisis Component to reach out to their local Community Action Agency as soon as possible to apply.

Lawmakers returned to the Capitol despite the downpour of rain and quickly got down to work for the people of Georgia. The first task tackled was the House Appropriations Committee taking action on its complete recommendations for the FY 2021 Amended Budget. After hearing the presentation of the recommendations by Chairman Terry England (R-Auburn) which he acknowledged had been on a “harried pace”, and swiftly moving the legislation forward out of the Committee, the Chairman announced that HB 80 would be on the floor of the House on Thursday morning. Our team will keep you posted as the budget makes its way through the process. The Committee Substitute on HB 80 is found in this link. The Committee Tracking Report is in this link, showing differences between the Governor and House versions of the proposed FY 2021 Amended Budget.

Here s The Smartest Way to Spend Your $1,400 Stimulus Check, If It Passes
On 01/24/21 at 9:00 AM EST
Under President Joe Biden s proposed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan, most Americans would receive a third round of stimulus payments this time a more generous $1,400 per person and perhaps as much as $5,600 for a family of four and $7,000 for a family of five. Given the sizable amounts involved, the challenge, if the measure passes, will be to make sure you use the money in a way that delivers the biggest boost to your family s financial security. The stimulus funds should be viewed as a way to lessen one s financial stress, not as a windfall, says financial planner Nick Hofer, president of Boston Family Advisors.
