WESTAR Assists Customers With LIEAP Applications
Westar Energy customer advisers are assisting LIEAP (Low Income Energy Assistance Program) applicants over the upcoming weeks throughout the company’s service territory.
On-site application assistance is an outreach program that assists individuals who need help completing their LIEAP application.
“According to SRS-LIEAP staff, several thousand applications are rejected annually due to an incomplete application or failing to provide supporting documents in order to qualify for LIEAP benefits,” Peggy Ricketts, vice president, customer care, said. “These on-site events help individuals understand the application process and what is needed to receive those benefits.”
LIEAP is a federally funded program that helps eligible households pay a portion of their home energy costs by providing a one-time per year benefit. The application period is from Jan. 18 through March 30, 2012.

To learn more about eligibility requirements or fill out a LIEAP application, visit the SRS Kansas website or call 1-800-432-0043.
