Massachusetts HEAP Covers the Heating Season From November 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027: Online Applications Opened October 1, With Income Capped at 60% of State M
BOSTON, Massachusetts — According to the Massachusetts state government's Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP, also known as Fuel Assistance) page on Mass.gov, the online application for this season opened on October 1, and the programme helps pay a portion of household energy costs for the heating season from November 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027, with payments made to the heating vendor.
Eligibility is based on household size and combined gross income: household income cannot exceed 60 percent of the state's estimated median income. The fiscal year 2027 maximum annual income levels are $53,585 for one person, $70,073 for two, $86,561 for three, $103,049 for four and $148,390 for ten. The state notes that not all income counts toward eligibility, and actual eligibility is confirmed by the local agency. Both homeowners and renters may apply, including households whose heat is included in the rent.
Applications can be filed online through the Mass.gov heating help page, in person at a local community action agency, or by mail; the Cold Relief Heatline is (800) 632-8175.
