Hello, I don't know much about this page and I don't know if I'm posting in the right spot, but I need help paying my electric bill. I'm a stay at home mom, I don't work, and I'm going thru a seperation right now with my husband. My electric is only a 140 dollars but I don't know who or where to turn to. I don't have a computer and I'm using my phone right now. I have a 11 month old daughter and I don't want to lose my electric. Thank you God Bless
Stephyd: I feel your pain dear, I'm 47 in the middle of a divorce, with two teens at home, my electric bill is 375.00 a month, and everything I have tried never comes through. I wish I could offer help, I just don't know of any! Praying for you.
LIHEAP is a Federally-funded program that helps low-income households with their home energy bills.
LIHEAP can help you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. By doing so, you can reduce the risk of health and safety problems (such as illness, fire, or eviction).
The federal government does not provide energy assistance directly to the public. Instead, LIHEAP operates in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and the U.S. territories.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE LIHEAP ASSISTANCE?
The LIHEAP program in your community determines if your household's income qualifies for the program. The LIHEAP program may also require households to meet additional eligibility criteria to receive LIHEAP assistance.*
*NOTE: The availability of LIHEAP assistance is not guaranteed. Often most of the Federal LIHEAP funds are spent during the winter.
WHAT ASSISTANCE DOES LIHEAP PROVIDE?
Your LIHEAP program may be able to offer you one or more of the following types of assistance:
* Bill payment assistance.
* Energy crisis assistance.
* Weatherization and energy-related home repairs.
Try St. Vincent de Paul's for help with the electric bill.
