- Moratorium: Once you are approved for EAP, you may be protected from utility disconnection between December 1st and March 15th if you qualify. However, you may be disconnected before December 1st or after March 15th.
- Even though you are getting help with your utility bills, EAP benefits will not cover them completely, so YOU must keep paying your bills throughout the year.
- Weatherization services may help reduce your energy consumption.
- You have the right to appeal the process or decision of your application.
- You must have proof of income for all household members age 18 and over for the most recent 90 days, and a current utility bill with account number. A photo ID may also be required.
- Households with utilities included in rent do qualify for this program and require a landlord affidavit.
- Missing / incomplete information may result in delay or denial of the application.
IMPORTANT — Read Carefully — You will not be eligible for a regular benefit if your credit balance on your utility bill is $250 for regulated or $500 for bulk fuel. We strongly suggest you do not submit your application until it is below that amount.
