Key Reminders and Requirements

GPCT’s energy assistance programs require proof of (gross) income eligibility. GPCT assistance grants are not an entitlement to all Connecticut residents who fall within income guidelines.

• We require that applicants submit documentation showing income for all household members over the age of 21, for the 4 weeks prior to the application date.
• If you are currently employed, please provide your paystubs with your name and the date for the past four weeks.
• If you receive income from benefits such as social security or a pension, please submit your most current documents showing your income for the past 4 weeks or as recent as possible.
• If you have a current award letter for the CT Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), please submit your household’s most recent approval letter to qualify.
• Adults without income documentation for the past 4 weeks may attest that by downloading the corresponding GPCT form and including it with your online application:

Note: GPCT will provide notice to  clients via email or voicemail if an application is incomplete. If an incomplete application is still pending after 30 days, the applicant may be required to re-apply as the household circumstances may have changed.
