Fuel Assistance is a program that helps pay your heating bills by sending money to your heating company to be credited to your account. Getting Fuel Assistance also automatically qualifies you for important electricity and gas discounts. In addition, getting Fuel Assistance can help you get more SNAP/Food Stamps– even if heat is included in your rent and you don’t have air conditioning. This is because federal law says that anyone getting Fuel Assistance get the highest possible utility deduction from their income when calculating SNAP/Food Stamps benefits amounts.
