Due to the epidemic, and for the safety of the community and our employees, we will be contacting you by phone at your scheduled appointment time. Please have all required documents ready as we will be going over your documents and will be mailing application to you after phone interview. If for any reason you missed or did not receive a call form us, please contact us at 253-874-4328 and let us know we missed you. Thank you.
You may fill out a pre-appointment application so that we can better serve you and help process your application in a shorter time frame. Please, go to https://mschelps.org/gethelp/energy/energypaa/ and fill out the form with your confirmation number.
Failure to bring all required printed documentation with you to your appointment will delay your assistance. We require below documents:
For Self Employed income, please provide business ledgers or business bank statements listing gross income. If you have business expenses, you can choose to accept a standard $100 deduction each month or you will need to bring the receipts or bank statements. These must show the description of the expense, the date, and the amount in order for the expense to be deducted from gross income. MSC's energy assistance program cannot deduct everything that can be deducted on taxes. Tax forms are not acceptable as proof of self employed income or expenses.
Please note after reviewing your documents we may request additional information to complete your application.
