74, Social Security $1,200/month, National Grid $320 in January. Heard seniors get extra HEAP in NY—how much and how?
NY seniors 60+ automatically receive the $50-75 Senior Supplement on top of regular HEAP, plus priority processing. My mom in Utica got $725 total last year—$650 base + $75 senior. Need SS award letter and utility bill. The portal has a “senior express” button: https://www.utilityassistance.org/ny/heap-ny/ – upload SS letter, approval in 5-7 days. National Grid applies it as credit; mom’s January bill was $42 after. Supplement is per household, not per person.
