What happened
Fuel prices in New Hampshire remain high due to disruptions stemming from the war in Iran and ongoing inflation. Local assistance agencies are reporting an influx of applications from new households as high costs squeeze residents. The state of New Hampshire increased the maximum winter heating benefit to $2,500.

Why it matters
The high cost of heating oil, which is currently near $6, may not be fully offset by the increased state assistance. This cost pressure is leading to more low-income households applying for aid in the state.
