Home Heating Assistance Program Now Open
Enrollment is now open for the 2025-2026 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The program helps low-income older adults and families pay their heating bills through a cash grant sent directly to the utility company/fuel provider. Households in immediate danger of being without heat can also qualify for crisis grants. These grants do not have to be repaid.
For more information about LIHEAP, including how to qualify and sign up, visit the Department of Human Services’ website.

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Is Now & PA MEDI Is Here to Help!
The annual Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs from January 1 to March 31. During this time, beneficiaries who have a Medicare Advantage plan can switch to a different plan or to original Medicare. Changes to their enrollment will take effect on the first of the month following the month in which they enroll.
Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight, or PA MEDI, Pennsylvania’s Medicare counseling program, is available through our Agency to help seniors with their Medicare questions. Older adults can receive unbiased, no-cost Medicare assistance from trained PA MEDI counselors who can walk them through their options to assist in making informed health insurance decisions that optimize their cost-savings and access to health care and benefits.
PA MEDI counselors do not sell Medicare insurance products, nor do they endorse any insurance company, product, or agent. Counselors will not recommend policies, companies, or insurance agents but will provide free, confidential, and unbiased personalized assistance.
Call us at 570-524-2100 for more information. To find a PA MEDI event or presentation, visit the Department of Aging’s website.
