Want help with your gas bill during the holidays?
Posted on: Dec 18, 2013You may have applied for LIHEAP, but did you know there are other programs available? Learn three more ways PGW can help:
Crisis Grant
Are you without gas service? Do you have a 10-day shut-off notice? Do you have broken heating equipment? A Crisis Grant can help.
Crisis, a federal grant awarded to income-eligible customers, can be combined with LIHEAP to help keep – or restore -- gas service this winter.
You must apply for the grant in person at the Philadelphia County Assistance Office (1348 W. Sedgley Avenue) and have required documentation.
Call (215) 560-1583 to see if you qualify, a list of needed documentation, and more details.
Utility Emergency Services Fund (UESF)
Is your gas service off? A UESF grant, reserved for income-eligible customers, may be available to you.
UESF grants up to $1,500 are designed to help pay off the balance of an unpaid utility bill, allowing service to be restored, and can be combined with both LIHEAP and Crisis.
A UESF grant will only be available if, along with other assistance, any match by PGW and a customer’s own payment bring the account balance to zero. For complete details and an application, call (215) 972-5170, or visit www.uesf.org
