The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a Federal grant program established to help reduce the heating and cooling costs
for low income persons, particularly the elderly, disabled, and children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes. The
installation of energy efficiency measures for each dwelling is based on a computerized energy audit which determines the cost
effectiveness of each measure. Energy efficiency measures include high-density wall and attic insulation and blower door – guided
infiltration reduction. Because the weatherization procedures result in “tightening” homes, indoor air quality and other client health
and safety issues are also addressed. Health and safety measures include safety checks of all combustion appliances. Besides the
obvious benefit of conserving energy, the program also mitigates certain health and safety problems in the client’s homes,
maintains affordable housing for low-income persons, reduces utility arrearages, and reduces environmental pollution.

General Program Requirements

In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Iowa, your household’s annual income before taxes
must not exceed $16,245 if one person lives in the household; $21,855 if two people live in the household; $27,465 if three people live
in the household; $33,075 if four people live in the household; $38,685 if five people live in the household; $44,295 if six people live in
the household; $49,905 if seven people live in the household; and $55,515 if eight people live in the household. For larger
households, add $5,610 for each additional person in the home.

Program Description
Medicaid is a program that pays for covered medical and health care costs of people who qualify. The Medicaid program is funded
by Federal, state, and local governments and is managed by the Iowa Department of Human Services. A wide range of medical and
health care services is available through the Medicaid program. These services are covered only if they are medically necessary.
Medicaid recipients have free choice of a doctor, dentist, pharmacy, and other providers of services. However, in many counties,
some people covered by Medicaid are required to get certain medical services through a managed health care provider (either a
health maintenance organization (HMO) or a MediPass doctor). These people have the opportunity to select a provider, however, if
they do not select one they will be assigned to a provider. A provider that chooses to participate in the Medicaid program must
accept the payments that Medicaid makes and make no additional charges to the recipient for services covered under the
program. However, some services covered by Medicaid do require a small co-payment be paid.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Iowa, a US national, citizen or permanent resident
in need of health care/insurance assistance, whose financial situation would be characterized as low income or very low income.
You must also be either pregnant, have a child(ren) with a disability, or be responsible for children under 19 years of age.
