CSET / LIHEAP ASSISTANCE
Residents of Tulare County who are struggling to pay their home energy bills are encouraged to apply for financial assistance through CSET’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program is designed to help low-income community members manage their heating and cooling needs. The goal of LIHEAP is to support those experiencing financial hardship, allowing them to catch up on or stay current with their home energy bills and prevent disconnection of service by their utility company.
Qualified applicants can receive financial assistance once per program year for electricity, gas, or propane services. Eligibility for aid is determined by LIHEAP's income guidelines, the size of the household, the cost of energy, and the availability of funds.

social security benefits
The Social Security Administration's mission is to provide services that adapt to the evolving needs of the public. It is common for the circumstances of a benefit recipient to change after they have applied for or become eligible for benefits. If you or a family member receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), certain life changes could impact your eligibility for an increase in federal benefits. For instance, if your spouse or ex-spouse passes away, you may become eligible for a higher Social Security benefit.
