Hey there TMCLCS community! I know we have been very quiet lately. The agency Facebook operator has a new job and hasn't been able to post much.

It seems too early in the year to talk about it, but we are prepping for ...Christmas! I know, the Fourth of July isn't even here yet. Well we start early over here!

For folks needing a little help with food at Christmas, we PLAN to have our Christmas food applications available in late August. The food application cut-off date will be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, a little earlier than usual.

Right now, we are asking for ideas for a gift for our Seniors at Christmas. We try to do something that could make anyone a bit more happy and joyous. We aren't afraid to repeat a past idea, and we really like new ideas. If you have a suggestion for something that you feel a Senior would love to have, drop a comment below.

ELIEAP IS OPENING SOON! STAY AWARE OF LIMITS AND DATES.

West Virginia Department of Human Services today announced applications for the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program (ELIEAP) will be accepted from June 8 through June 26, 2026, or until funds are exhausted.

The federally funded program assists eligible state residents in paying home heating or cooling bills. Residents whose primary heating and cooling source is gas or electricity must provide a termination notice or a past due utility bill when applying for ELIEAP. Households using other primary heating sources or bulk fuel may qualify for assistance if their heating fuel levels are critically low during the application period.

Households that received a direct payment through the regular Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) must verify that the benefit was used for home heating expenses. Applicants must submit a current receipt equal to the amount of LIEAP assistance received along with their ELIEAP application. Failure to provide verification of payment will result in denial of the application.

Eligibility for ELIEAP is based on household income, household size, and responsibility for paying home heating or cooling costs. To qualify, households must meet all program requirements and be experiencing an energy emergency that could disrupt their primary heating or cooling source if assistance is not provided.

The income limit for Fiscal Year 2026 is 60 percent of the State Median Income. The maximum allowable gross income levels for ELIEAP Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 are listed below:

*For each additional household member, add $688. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum allowable amount are not eligible for assistance. Certain types of income may be excluded when determining ELIEAP eligibility.

Residents must apply in person at their local DoHS office. A directory of local offices is available at dohs.wv.gov/field-offices. Applications will be processed while funding remains available.
