Play reading
Play Reading with Andrea Ragusa take place in the senior center café on Monday, Dec. 5, at 12:30 p.m. This month’s play is The Price by Arthur Miller. This 1968 play takes place in the attic of a brownstone apartment building in New York City. The Franz brothers have not spoken to each other in many years. Victor is a police sergeant who is approaching his 50th birthday and looking forward to retirement. Walter is a successful doctor who walked out on the family to concentrate on medicine. The New York Times wrote that “The Price is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written.” Reservations: 203-834-6240.
State energy assistance
The Wilton Social Services Department is available to help you apply for assistance with your heating bills. Approximate income guidelines for eligibility state that a single individual may earn no more than $33,880; a couple’s maximum income may not exceed $44,305. Income includes wages, social security, pension, rental income, child support, and interest.
There is also a liquid assets test. Liquid assets include checking and savings accounts, CDs, stocks/shares, bonds, annuities, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. The purpose of the liquid assets test is to ensure that winter heating assistance dollars go to households most in need, that is, to people who lack the financial means to heat their home. For homeowners, the first $15,000 in liquid assets, and for other households, the first $12,000 in liquid assets, is disregarded. Any amount over that limit, is added to the annual gross income, for a total that must be below the income guidelines.
For more information, call Sarah Muccio at Wilton Social Services (203-834-6238).
