The Alaska Temporary Assistance heating and non-heating utility standards increase effective October 2012. The Eligibility Information System (EIS) will automatically apply these new standards when determining eligibility and benefit amounts beginning October 2012. We also took this opportunity to make a few minor clarifications and technical corrections.

 

Highlights of these policy revisions are described below. If you have any questions, please contact the Policy and Program Development Team at 465-3382 or email dpapolicy@alaska.gov.
