OKLAHOMA CAPITOL -- The Oklahoma Department of Human Services is taking advantage of recently released federal funds to help with home heating costs for households who did not receive funds through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) last year.

The application period for non-crisis heating assistance through OKDHS is March 27 to April 7.

No cut-off notice is required to receive this assistance, but it’s important that persons requesting non-crisis heating assistance have their household’s latest heating bill and income information when applying.

The maximum income guidelines are:

Household Size	Allowable Monthly Net Income
1	$878
2	$1,177
3	$1,475
4	$1,774
5	$2,073
6	$2,372
