What is the eligibility for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)?

 The quickest way to find out is to visit www.myBenefits.ny.gov and use the prescreening tool. By entering some basic information about yourself and your family, myBenefits will quickly let you know if your household may qualify for HEAP, but the final determination must be made by the County Social Services Department. Eligibility for HEAP is based on income and your housing situation.
