Based on the availability of funding and a determination of need by OFS, all households receiving a KCSP grant may also be eligible to receive an energy assistance grant effective August 2001 to apply towards the cost of utility service. OFS will establish a specific date of eligibility in order to determine when households will receive a grant, and only those households certified as of that date will be eligible for energy assistance.

Recipients will be required to provide verification of identity as well as proof of residency at the utility service address.
