Eligible residents receive $300 to $600.
People who are on fixed incomes such as Social Security Retirement, Social Security Disability or VA benefits can apply, as can taxpayers who don't normally make enough to file a tax return. People receiving only SSI do not qualify, however.
Local libraries have copies of the application form and county offices on aging can help people fill it out.
