Clark County Department of Social Services Reminds Residents Heating Season Starts October 1st

Monday, September 13th, 2021 -- 11:00 AM

The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program is a program designed to assist households with their yearly heat and/or electric costs.

The 2021-2022 heating season starts October 1st. Eligibility is now based on the household’s previous month of income. Self-Employment Income that is still being affected by COVID-19 will also be based on previous month of income, rather than the former requirement of using the most recent tax records.

No walk-in appointments will be accepted for the 2021-2022 heating season. There are three ways that households can apply: phone, mail or online. To request an application in the mail or to schedule a phone appointment, please contact Clark County Department of Social Services at (715) 743-5233.

For more information on the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) or to complete an online application through Energy Services Inc. visit www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov. Approximately 1,132 Clark County households were assisted last heating season.
