by SingleMom.com Leave a Comment

Missouri Low Income Energy Assistance ProgramEnergy Assistance/Regular Heating (EA) and Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECIP) are the two components that form the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in Missouri aimed to help single moms with their energy bills:

  • Energy Assistance/Regular Heating (EA) – helps pay heating bills for single moms during the months of October, November, December, January, February, and March by providing them with financial assistance. Household size, income and the type of fuel used for home heating is what the EA benefit amount is based upon.
  • Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECIP) – is designed to provide financial assistance to single mothers that belong to households that find themselves in a verifiable energy crisis.

This crisis can be defined as follows:

  1. The receipt of a termination or disconnect notice indicating a specific disconnect date.
  2. A final billing statement advising the account has been terminated.
  3. A propane tank is filled at less than 20% capacity.
  4. The customer is a cash on delivery (COD) customer.
  5. Pre-paid electric customer indicates their pre-paid usage is about to run out.

ECIP funds can be used for either primary or secondary fuel sources.
