The state government is now accepting applications to provide cash grants to Pennsylvania families to help with their heating bills. This program is called LIHEAP (low income home energy assistance). Local county assistance offices will accept applications from 03 DEC 2025 to 10 APR 2026. Here is more information from the state’s website:

“About LIHEAP: LIHEAP can help you keep your home warm and safe during the coldest seasons. From December 3, 2025, to April 10, 2026, you can apply for a cash grant to help pay your heating bill. You can receive from $200 to $1,000 based on your household size, income, and fuel type. The cash grant is a one-time payment. The grant will be sent directly to your utility provider or fuel company to be credited on your bill.

You can apply for LIHEAP online, by mail, or in-person at your local county assistance office.

Required documents:
A recent bill from your main heating source
Proof of household income for each household member. Documents can include pay stubs, award letters, employer statements, and other forms of verification
Additional documents may be required if you are not a U.S. citizen, if your heating bill is included in your rent, or if your income is less than the cost of your monthly basic living needs.

You must reapply each year to receive a cash or crisis grant. If you received benefits in the previous year’s LIHEAP season, you will receive notice to apply early during LIHEAP pre-season. Standard applications open in November annually.

Eligibility : To qualify for LIHEAP in Pennsylvania, you must meet income requirements, which are set based on your household size. Renters and homeowners are both eligible for benefits. You do not need to be on another public assistance program or have unpaid heating bills to qualify.”
