BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ Applications are being accepted beginning

Monday for a program that helps low-income people pay their heating

bills.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says about

13,700 people received assistance last year under the Low Income

Home Energy Assistance Program.

The so-called LIHEAP program helps eligible families pay for

home heating and home weatherizing.

To qualify, a household can earn up to 60 percent of the state

median income. For a family of three, that equals about $39,000 per

year.
