Important Notice About Energy Costs
(Only for Persons Who Pay Directly for Home Heating)
If you pay for heat separately, a part of your benefit is based
on the yearly amount that you spend on energy costs. In
calculating your energy costs, we will use a standard amount from
the chart below. To find the amount we are using, find the column
with your main heating type and move down the chart until you
reach the amount under your household size.

If your annual energy costs are higher than the standard amount,
you may choose to document your energy costs for the last
twelve(l2) months and we will use your actual energy costs
instead of the standard amount.
If you choose to document your annual energy costs, you must
include your documentation with this application. If you do not
include documentation, we will use the standard amount.
