The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides eligible households with financial help to pay for energy costs. A one-time benefit is awarded based on four criteria: income, household size, fuel type, and geographic location. The LIHEAP application period has been extended until June 30, 2020.
Start by contacting your county’s local agency to apply for LIHEAP. The agency will determine your eligibility based on the information you provide. If you are eligible, the local agency will make the appropriate payment to Ameren on your behalf or, in some cases, directly to you.
