Ohio Fuel Fund Grant Program.
Currently, low to moderate income customers of FirstEnergy's utility companies, which are Cleveland Electric Illuminating, Ohio Edison, and Toledo Edison may be eligible for the Fuel Fund assistance program. Learn more on credits for utility bills from the Ohio Fuel Fund.
Residents of Summit County will benefit from the largest portion of the funding, however other First Energy customers can apply too. The Summit County Department of Community as well as the Economic Development and Love INC of Greater Akron will administrate the program. They will be responsible for passing out energy billing credits to qualified low-income families. These organizations will take applications from customers, in partnership with FirstEnergy, and will decide upon whether residents are eligible for assistance.
Other organizations that will manage the program are available as well. For example, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel also partners with the Medina County Department of Job and Family Services, the Stark County Department of Job and Family Services, Portage County Salvation Army, and also the Salvation Army in Stark County.
Terms of FirstEnergy Fuel Fund
While the maximum grant that will be provided from the Ohio Fuel Fund Grant Program per family in most cases is $300, up to $500 will be given out in cases of extreme hardship or financial emergency. All funds are limited and come with restrictions. Credits for utility bills and heating may be used only for electrical usage and cannot exceed the amount due on the monthly power bill.
As with most energy assistance programs, the Ohio Fuel Grant Program has criteria that need to be met in order to get help. The applicant must have been for the most part paying their heating bills on time in the past, they need to have a limited household income, and they must have applied for the LIHEAP program in the past in order to get help from the Ohio Fuel Grant Program.
