The West Virginia Department of Human Services has issued a supplemental payment for individuals enrolled in the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP), as announced by the Bureau for Family Assistance. This one-time payment, which is automatic for those who received assistance during the current program year, will help ease the financial strain on low-income households facing rising energy costs. The supplemental payment ranges from $25 to $142, depending on the assistance received earlier. This financial aid underscores the state's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations as they navigate the challenges of energy expenses, especially during the winter months. The program aims to ensure that essential needs are met without undue financial hardship.

Recipients can expect to see these supplemental payments in the coming weeks as part of the state’s ongoing efforts to provide relief. Individuals interested in more information about LIEAP can visit the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources’ website. This initiative not only helps families but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community by ensuring that those in need can keep their homes warm and safe.
