The Heat Aid Fund was established by M.U.D. in 1983 and is administered by The Salvation Army. The Fund has served more than 25,000 customers since its inception.
How it works:
If you need help to pay utility bills, the first step is to contact the Nebraska Energy Assistance Program at 1.800.383.4278 or apply on-line.
Guidelines:
- Recipients must have received a shut-off notice and have made an attempt to qualify for assistance under other governmental programs.
- The applicant must reside in the District's service area, be age 60 or older; or disabled (proof of disability is required); or be in a crisis situation.
- No more than $500 per household in a heating season.
- Applicants have to work with The Salvation Army on general budgeting skills and have a consistent payment history.
