If you live in Michigan and need a bit of help with your energy bills you can apply now for the Michigan Home Heating Credit, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
The home heating credit is geared towards low-income, deaf, disabled or blind persons, disabled veterans and senior citizens. Applicants do not have to file a Michigan individual income tax return to receive the credit.
All applications for the credit must be received by Sept. 30th.
Over the past five years approximately 257,500 individuals have received an average credit of $209.
State Treasurer Rachel Eubanks says, “This credit can provide assistance on heating bills during our cold seasons, allowing individuals to spend their hard-earned dollars on other necessities.”
You can apply for the Home Heating Credit electronically through the e-File system.
