Low Income? Talk to your Utility Companies!

Sometimes money can be tight or you could be on a fixed budget, such as unemployment, alimony, or Social Security as your only source of income. If this is your situation, you should call your local utlity company to see if you can qualify for some type of assistance program. It is best to do this before you get into trouble with the ulitity company with late payment of bills. If you are a senior citizen, make sure to mention this as well. Proof of income may be required, so be prepared to show documentation when you apply for the special programs. Every little bit helps!
