HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut’s only year-round emergency energy assistance program Operation Fuel, is moving up the deadline for applications in the summer and fall window. The deadline to apply is Friday at 5 p.m.
The deadline is moving up as a result of a high volume of demand, according to a post on the program’s Facebook page.
Applications cannot be accepted or reviewed after the deadline for assistance with delivered fuel, oil, kerosene, propane, gas electricity. Applications will still be accepted for assistance with CT Water and MDC bills, according to the post.
Operation Fuel plans to reopen applications for assistance for the winter and spring seasons on Jan. 2. The date could change based on the program's funding.
This is the second time this year that higher than demand has caused applications to end sooner than expected. In March, Operation Fuel had such a high volume of demand that it closed applications for a month so staff could catch up and process applications.
