Minnesota Energy Assistance Program Eligibility Expands, Adds Water & Sewer

State officials say more than 600-thousand Minnesota households are now eligible for energy assistance under expanded income limits.

The state still has about 130-million dollars from American Rescue Plan and could another 115 million if Congress passes a budget.

Michael Schmitz with the state Department of Commerce says assistance for water and sewer bills is also available for the first time.

Only one combined application is required for that assistance, plus heating help and home weatherization assistance.

He says Minnesota was the first state to get its plan approved in the spring.

The state’s Cold Weather Rule goes into effect Friday.
