points if the household includes one or more members 60 years of

Computing
When all of the above information has been entered into the HAS,
the worker uses the F1 key to compute the household’s benefit
amount.
Step 5 – Heating points of 2.0 or more
Households must have heating cost points of 2.0 or more to be
eligible for heating assistance. If the household’s total points
compute to less than 2.0, the household is denied as “Limited
Heating Points”.
