According to Income Maintenance Supervisor Lillie Barnes, the local DSS already had received 1,244 applications by Oct. 27. She said 428 of those applications are "walk-in" clients, while the remaining 816 are from the 1,600 food stamp households that were mailed application forms and return envelopes on Oct. 13. "When it starts turning cold, you really start seeing them come in," I Ms. Barnes said, noting that the I number of applications received so I far is about the same as last year's 1 rate. < In February, some 1,605 households in Brunswick County i received $184,248 in assistance in the >. program, she said. Individual i payments ranged from $15 to $245 per 5 household, with the average being t about $115. 3 Ms. Barnes said most of Brunswick County's energy assistance reci- r pients are food stamp, Medicaid or i Aid to Families with Dependent I Children clients.

Ms. Barnes said checks will be mailed to recipients on Feb. 1. "I think it helps a lot in the winter months," she said of the program. "The only problem is, it's a one-time payment that comes in February." The assistance program, which is administered on the state level by the N.C. Department of Human Resources, is not meant to cover all of an eligible household's winter heating costs. Ms. Bames noted that :?ii_.i j?i muiviuuai payments depend on a household's type of heat and its net income. The lowest payments are made to households with oil or regular gas heat, while the highest payments go to households with electric heat. The two categories in between are for terosene and wood heat, and LP-gas and coal heat. To be eligible, households must neet income requirements that illow a single individual to have a net nonthly income of no more than >527; a two-person household, $706; hree persons, $886; four persons, 11,066; and five persons, $1,245. Ms. Barnes said the household's let income for October is considered, tlso, the reserve limit is $2,200 per lousehold.
