NEW HAMPSHIRE FUEL & ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - The legislature recently approved $25 million in State General Funds for the State Emergency Fuel Assistance Program (SEFAP) and $10 million in General Funds for the State Supplemental Electric Benefit Programs (SSEBP).  Southern New Hampshire Services, the Community Action Program administering the funding for the State program for District Three, encourages all District Three residents who believe they might be at or below 75% of State Median Income to apply - disbursements are anticipated for December. 

Any residents who apply and are below the 60% State Median Income will be enrolled in the Fuel Assistance Program (FAP).  Any residents who apply and are between 61% - 75% State Median Income, which does not meet the regular fuel assistance guidelines, will be in the system and ready to be enrolled in the new Emergency State Program with a benefit being paid out as early as December.
