WHEAP Crisis Benefit Funds Update
This transmittal serves as notification that the Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources will be issuing supplemental benefits for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) eligible households on
June 12, 2023.
All households that have received regular heat benefits in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023 will be reviewed to determine the amount of the supplemental benefit. The supplemental benefit will be automatically applied to their accounts or distributed to the case head in the form of a check, depending on the circumstances of the original application.
Reminders related to supplemental benefits:
- The new average benefit will be $637.
- The following households will not be issued a supplemental benefit:
- Households determined to receive less than a $30 supplemental benefit.
- If a household member has been marked deceased by a worker or by the Social Security Administration.
- If a vendor refund has been processed in the HE+ system.
- If the vendor on the original paid application is marked inactive.
- If a WEFI call is unsuccessful.
The supplemental heat benefit is the result of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services' final allocation of LIHEAP funds.
PLEASE NOTE:
Effective Monday, June 13, 2023, all Program Year (PY) 2023 applications that are submitted for benefits will have heat benefits computed using the new higher benefit formula.
The Home Energy Plus (HE+) System will be offline starting at 3:00 PM Friday June 9, 2023, to process the supplemental benefits and will be back online when the process has been successfully completed.
Please contact the Home Energy Plus Help Desk at (608) 267-3680 or heat@wisconsin.gov if you have any questions or comments.
