Michigan Energy Assistance Grants

KNOW THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA & PROGRAM BENEFIT
STRUCTURE ​BEFORE YOU APPLY
Utility bill payment assistance programs vary in structure and design as it relates to eligibility, scope of coverage, and time limitations.  Programs also utilize different income and asset measurements to determine eligibility for benefits.  Energy consumer applicants should be familiar with Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines, the standard tool for determining if the applicant meets the Michigan "standard of need" test.  Most, programs require applicants household income to fall 150 - 200% below the national poverty threshold (depending on household size) to qualify for benefits.  Use the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) chart to calculate household income eligibility.  FPL levels are based on gross income annually.
