The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS) announced that applications for the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program (E-LIEAP) will be accepted from Monday, July 28, through Friday, August 8, 2025, or until funds are exhausted. This program helps low-income families in West Virginia who are facing an energy emergency.

E-LIEAP may also help with cooling costs in some situations. Each application is reviewed individually, and some types of cooling sources may require approval before assistance can be given.

To qualify:

-Households using gas or electric must present a termination notice when applying.

-Households using bulk fuels like propane, fuel oil, kerosene, wood, or coal must show that their supply is low when you apply.

-Households that have already received a regular LIEAP payment for bulk fuel (such as propane, fuel oil, kerosene, wood, or coal), must provide a receipt or proof showing that the LIEAP payment was used to purchase fuel. Applications for E-LIEAP assistance may be denied without this documentation.

Eligibility for E-LIEAP is determined based on household income, household size, and whether the household is responsible for paying utility costs. In emergency situations, all applicants must meet in person with a DoHS worker.

The maximum allowable gross income levels for LIEAP Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 are listed below:

*For each additional person, add $673. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum amount are not eligible. However, some types of income may be excluded for E-LIEAP.

To apply, residents must go to their local DoHS office. A list of local offices may be found at https://dhhr.wv.gov/pages/field-offices.aspx.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS), Bureau for Family Assistance (BFA) will begin accepting school clothing allowance applications on July 7, 2025, for eligible children enrolled in West Virginia schools. All families must apply to be considered for eligibility. Each eligible child will receive a $200 benefit that may be used toward the purchase of appropriate school clothing or piece goods for families who sew clothing for their children.

How to apply

Families of children who are enrolled in West Virginia schools may be eligible for school clothing allowance benefits depending upon household income. The monthly income for a family of four may not exceed $3,380. Verification of income for July must be submitted with the application.

Families may apply online at www.wvPATH.wv.gov or request a paper application be mailed to them by contacting their local DoHS office or by calling 1-877-716-1212. Applications must be received by July 31, 2025.

Benefit Distribution

School clothing allowance program recipients will receive an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card in place of the traditional paper voucher. This system change allows for both online transactions and an increased choice of vendors when purchasing school clothing or piece goods. The EBT card will operate like a debit card and can be used at any retailer who accepts EBT cash transactions. Parents or guardians of children in foster care will receive the school clothing allowance benefit as a check.

To update an address, visit www.wvPATH.wv.gov or call the DoHS Customer Service Center at 1-877-716-1212.
