ARKANSAS, USA — Financial assistance is available for select Arkansas residents who need help paying their utility bills.
If you need help paying your utility bill, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) pays benefits of fixed amounts based on the home's income. An additional benefit is available to homes having a high energy burden.
According to LIHEAP's website, eligibility is based on annualized income and the number of people in the home. The Winter Program helps with regular electric/heating bills or shut off notices and all payments are made directly to the vendor.
