Low and middle income Brooklyn senior citizens may now be eligible for a $100 rebate for their heating bills.

City Council members say they hope 40,000 seniors get the money for their heating bills. Seniors who are older than 60, pay for their own heat and meet income requirements are allowed to apply for the rebate. Seniors who live alone must make less than $30,000 a year to qualify.

Seniors can call 311 to get the forms they need to apply for the rebate. The deadline to apply is May 31.
