Energy Assistance Program 

The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) can help you pay your heat and electric bills! EAP assists you in paying for your energy bills by providing a one-time benefit assistance payment. An EAP benefit will not cover all of your annual heating and electric costs, so you should continue to pay your bills regularly.
