Energy Assistance
EA is designed to provide financial assistance to
help pay primary fuel source heating bills for
Missourians during the months of October
through March. Eligibility requirements for EA
are based on income, family size, available
resources and responsibility for payment of
home heating costs.
Energy Crisis Assistance
Additionally, eligible households can receive heating and cooling assistance for
verifiable crisis situations. Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) funds can be used
to prevent or restore disconnected service, assist with emergency repairs and furnace
replacements and even purchase wood stoves and air conditioners. Based upon
funding, Winter ECIP is available from November through May and Summer ECIP is
available from June through September.

income eligibility; households must be responsible for paying home heating costs,
