TOENTON - Thousands of elderly and other lowincome people may not receive . financial assistance with home heating costs due to delays in federal funding, according to G. Thomas Riti, director of the state Division of Public Welfare. "We’re concerned that as many as 55.000 eligible people vnay go without Home Energy Assistance benefits because the amount of available funds was not known until this month."

Riti said.

THE AVAILABLE funds were generally reserved for the physically or merv tally handicapped and one- * parent families dependent on public assistance. Earlier this month the state was notified that this year's funding would be restored to last year’s $6B million level, but applications have not matched last year's level, according to state reports. ••WE SUSPECT that elegiblc people aren’t applying becaysc they have not heard much about the program this year but they have all heard about the

reduction of other social service programs,’’ Riti noted. Riti also stated that some peopte may nS^»e applying because of the agreement between the state Public Advocate and utility companies Which forbids utility shut-offs during the winter "Some people will come looking for help when they're subject to service shut-offs this spring but then it will be too late,’’ said Riti. .who explained that all HEA applications should be filed by March. UNDER THE HEA income guidelines an individual connot have more than *449 a month in gross income and still receive benefits. Other maximum income levels are: *593 for a family of two; *737 for a family of three; *880 for a family of four; *l024iJor a family of five, and *1168 for a family of six. Special arrangements have been made to allow senior citizens and the disabled to complete their applications at home and mail them directly to the county agency. Extra apilications are also
