Energy Assistance Options
Remain Available for
National Grid Customers
During Winter Months
Customers may qualify for federal
heating assistance, discounted low-income rate
With winter in full swing, National Grid reminds
customers that applications are still being accepted
for the federally-funded Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) that provides income-eligible
families assistance in paying their
energy bills.
LIHEAP payments vary depending on household
income, household composition and heating fuel
costs in relation to income. If a household receives
public assistance, Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) or food stamps, the household will most likely
be eligible for LIHEAP benefits. If a household is
not receiving public assistance, it still may be eligible
if the gross monthly household income is at or
below income guidelines based on household size.
Since LIHEAP funding is limited, customers who
feel they may qualify for the funds should contact
LIHEAP immediately. The LIHEAP application
process varies by state.
On Long Island call your county Department of
Social Services or check the New York State Office
of Temporary and Disability Assistance's website at
www.otda.state.ny.us
There are several other programs available to
National Grid customers to help manage energy
costs:
• Low-income discount rate
Discount rates are available to many National
Grid electricity and/or natural gas customers,
based on service area and certain eligibility requirements.
For more information about availability
of low-income rates and to determine eligibility,
customers should contact National Grid or their
local energy assistance agency, Community Action
Agency or state department of social services.
• Billing Options
National Grid has billing programs to help customers
spread payments out more evenly across
the year, which are particularly helpful to those on
fixed incomes. Visit www.nationalgridus.com for
more information on this and other payment programs.
National Grid’s website
www.powerofaction.com features energy efficiency
programs and saving tips, a list of qualified
energy services companies and much more.
