Assistance for Those Struggling to Pay Energy Bills

As the COVID-19 health crisis continues, more people may be struggling financially and looking for help to pay their energy bills.  The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is accepting applications for the current heating season.  LIHEAP helps low-income residents with heating bills, medically necessary cooling costs and weatherization services.
Customers do not have to be behind on their energy bill to receive LIHEAP and only the last month of income determines eligibility.  Homeowners should also apply.  For more information, or to download applications, customers can visit pseg.com/help or pseg.com/ayuda (Spanish).
 
Customers can also visit energyassistance.nj.gov to fill out an online application, or call the LIHEAP hotline at 1-800-510-3102 or ‘211’ seven days a week.
 
We encourage you to spread the word that energy assistance is available.  Feel free to share this important information through your township’s website, Facebook page, newsletter, council meetings, municipal TV channel, etc.
