The Department of Finance clarified today who is eligible for government's home heating fuel rebate program.
The one-time, $100 rebate is payable to households that use home heating fuel as the primary source of heat and where an individual in that household receives any amount of the Newfoundland and Labrador Child Benefit, Newfoundland and Labrador HST credit or the Newfoundland and Labrador Seniors' Benefit.
Households which use electricity or wood as the primary heat source are not eligible for the rebate.
Individuals have to apply for the rebate and provide an invoice or statement showing that home heating fuel was used in the previous six months. Application forms will be published in the province's daily and weekly newspapers in the coming weeks. Application forms are also available from the Department of Finance, all provincial Human Resources and Employment offices, Government Service Centres and, in St. John's, at the Seniors' Resource Centre. The forms may also be accessed on government's web site at www.gov.nl.ca, or by calling 729-1695 in the St. John's area, or toll free at 1-877-729-1695.
Deadline for applications is March 31, 2001. Applicants should allow at least 30 days for processing.
