subsidized housing and roomers renting only one room will receive a lower benefit than other households.

Fuel bills are submitted to the household’s local social service agency by the vendor or household. Households using wood or coal will generally receive the payment directly. In most cases, payments are made directly to the fuel vendor until the total amount of the household’s fuel benefit has been used or until the ending date for deliveries or services on April 15, 1987. When a household has used all of its benefits, or at the end of the fuel year, each household will be notified by the state of all payments made to a fuel vepdor on the household’s behalf.

During last year’s program, 114,400 Virginia households received help with their heating bills. The average fuel assistance grant was $307, with maximum of $461.
