The program helps income-eligible households. For example, a family of four
which earns approximately $47,485 annually or less, or a two-person family with
earnings of about $32,290 or less, may qualify for energy assistance dollars.To
obtain energy assistance, qualified Wisconsin residents can apply to their
local county energy assistance agency for WHEAP funds through May 15,
