HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is now open until April 2, Rep. Sandra Major (R- Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) announced. The LIHEAP program is administered by the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and helps income-eligible households pay for heat during the winter months. The original closing date of the LIHEAP program was March 15, but circumstances have allowed the program to continue until April 2. The cash grant amounts have also increased by $100. DPW anticipates helping approximately 600,000 families with cash grants during the 2009-10 program year. Applications are available at the Susquehanna County Assistance Office at 33 Spruce Street in Montrose. The toll-free number is 1-888-753-6328. Applications are also available from local utility companies and community service agencies, such as Area Agencies on Aging or community action agencies. LIHEAP cash grant applications are available online at http://www.compass.state.pa.us. For complete eligibility requirements and additional information on LIHEAP, visit Major’s Web site at www.repmajor.com and click on “LIHEAP Information.”
Students Urged To Submit FAFSA Harrisburg, PA - The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) today announced that the 2010-11 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is available and can be completed online at www.PHEAA.org/FAFSA or www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA determines eligibility for federal grants, the need-based Pennsylvania State Grant, many scholarships, reduced-cost federal student loans, and work-study programs. “Many families are struggling financially in today’s economic environment, so it is more important than ever for families to submit the FAFSA to determine if there is free money available to help with their higher education costs,” said Representative William Adolph, PHEAA Board Chairman. Families are encouraged to complete and submit the FAFSA as soon as possible to ensure prompt processing of their application. The deadline for the Pennsylvania State Grant is May 1 but families should contact the schools their student is interested in attending as many have earlier financial aid deadlines. Estimated federal income tax information can be used if the family’s actual tax form has not been completed. Returning students who have previously submitted a FAFSA electronically and included a valid email address will receive an email reminder from the federal government stating that their 2010-11 Renewal Application is now available. Students who have previously submitted a paper application or did not provide a valid email address will be mailed a Renewal Reminder, provided there is a deliverable mailing address. Completing the FAFSA online reduces errors and speeds up the processing time. Students and parents will need a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to sign the FAFSA electronically. To receive a PIN, visit www.pin.ed.gov. Students filing electronically will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) via email within a few days. Schools use the SAR to develop students’ financial aid packages. “No student should forgo their dream of higher education because they think they can’t afford it,” said Senator Sean Logan, PHEAA Board Vice Chairman. ”Submitting the FAFSA can result in qualifying for money for college that would otherwise be unavailable to them.” There is help for families who need assistance completing the FAFSA. Families can review a detailed explanation of the FAFSA process, obtain a list of documents needed to complete the application, practice completing a FAFSA worksheet and link to the online FAFSA at www.PHEAA.org/FAFSA. PHEAA, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (PASFAA), offers hundreds of free FAFSA Completion Events across the state. Families can receive individual guidance with any questions they may have. A schedule of FAFSA Completion Events can be found online at PHEAA.org under Fill Out the FAFSA. Yaw To Host Constituent Outreaches TOWANDA - A representative from state Sen. Gene Yaw’s office will be at the Great Bend-Hallstead Public Library on Friday, January 22 from 11-noon, and at the Susquehanna County Courthouse Annex, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose from 2-3 p.m. to meet with area constituents and respond to questions concerning state government. Yaw encourages anyone with a state-related inquiry or problem to stop by; no appointments are necessary. Constituents unable to meet with Yaw’s staff that day may also call the Senator’s Towanda office at 265-7448 or his toll-free number at 1-800-443-5772 with questions and concerns.
