EICAP winter heating assistance remains open through March 31
IDAHO FALLS — Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership is still accepting applications for its Energy Assistance Winter Heating Program through March 31 as funding allows, according to the agency’s program page.
The LIHEAP benefit is intended to help eligible households offset home heating costs. EICAP posts monthly income limits by household size and says incomplete applications will not be processed. Required documents include current heating and electric bills with account numbers in a household member’s name, plus gross income from the previous month for every household member. The agency says it can take up to six weeks from the application date for a heating vendor to receive a benefit.
The online application portal is currently unavailable. Completed applications may be emailed or mailed to a local office, including the main office at 935 E. Lincoln Road, (208) 542-8178.
