KANSAS CITY, MO – January 22, 2024 - Evergy customers who need help with winter utility bills are reminded that financial assistance is available.
Kansas residents can apply for LIEAP (Low Income Energy Assistance Program) through March 29.
Under the Cold Weather Rule, Evergy does not disconnect customers for nonpayment when temperatures are below the cold weather rule threshold: 35 degrees in Kansas and 32 degrees in Missouri. This week’s temperatures are forecasted to be above those thresholds. LIEAP and LIHEAP assistance can help customers avoid accumulating potentially large bills during this time.
Evergy customers who need help filling out applications can take advantage of in-person assistance at Evergy Connect.
Evergy Kansas customers outside of Wichita Metro can also attend LIEAP in-person application assistance events throughout the service area. One of those events is from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library 230 W 7th St Junction City, KS
