The West Virginia Department of Human Services will stop accepting Low Income Energy Assistance Program applications at the close of business Feb. 9, 2026, due to running out of funds. Applications submitted online or postmarked by that date will still be processed.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS) announced Friday that it will stop accepting applications for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) at the close of business on Monday, February 9, 2026, due to the exhaustion of regular LIEAP funding.
