gas bill. You
may be eligible for the program if you meet the income eligibility requirements
($1,196.25 monthly for individuals, $1,603.75 monthly for couples and
$407.50 for each additional person in the household) or if you are a
resident of
subsidized housing you may qualify even if your heat is paid as part
