Stakeholder session for Colorado’s fuel assistance program
(during the Blueprint’s Workgroup 4 meeting)
Wednesday, February 21
1 - 2 p.m.
Zoom
The Blueprint’s Workgroup 4: Increasing SNAP & WIC Enrollment meets virtually on the third Wednesday of each month from 1 - 2:30 p.m. On February 21 from 1 - 2 p.m., the Colorado Department of Human Services will host a stakeholder session to gather feedback on draft regulations for implementing the fuel assistance program called Energy EBT and widely known as “Heat & Eat.” The program, created by House Bill 2021-1105, makes an annual fuel assistance payment to SNAP households that have not already received LEAP in order to qualify them for the standard utility allowance to maximize their SNAP benefits.
Contact Greta Allen, the Blueprint’s Policy Director, if you would like to participate in future Workgroup 4 meetings.
