Indiana Bulk Fuel Discount

• Indiana opened a two-week pre-heating season program in 1997, from September 15 to September 30. The state used $1.5 million in oil overcharge funds for the program. Elderly and handicapped prior year LIHEAP recipients were eligible for a $250 payment for a bulk fuel delivery or four cords of wood at a discounted price, with the fuel to be delivered by October 15. Each local agency worked out a price with local dealers so the discounts varied. The state expanded the program to four months in 1998.
