FUTURE ELIGIBILITY
Basic Eligibility Requirements When Funding Is Available
WYO HELP Payment Services uses the same basic eligibility standards wherever WYO HELP directly provides financial assistance. The amount and types of assistance available may vary by county and available funding.
Live in Niobrara County
You must be a resident of Niobrara County to receive assistance through this county program.
Meet the Income Limit
Your household's countable income must be at or below the current CSBG income limit for your household size.
Provide Required Documentation
You will need information that verifies your identity, residency, household members, household income, and the expense for which you are requesting assistance.
Request an Eligible Service

If you otherwise qualify, WYO HELP does not require you to exhaust your savings, prove that you cannot pay the expense yourself, or apply to other assistance programs before being eligible for Payment Services.
Important Program Rules
A household may receive no more than $1,000 in combined WYO HELP Payment Services during a single program year.
Assistance depends on available county funding, funded services, applicable limits, required documentation, and whether the requested payment is allowable.
If everyone in the household has zero income, a zero-income declaration is required and must be renewed every 60 days while the entire household remains without income.
