PSE&G AND EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE

Recognizing the financial difficulties the pandemic has caused, PSE&G continues its effort to educate and support its customers through the pandemic recovery (pseg.com/HelpNow). PSE&G wants customers to know:

• Income eligibility requirements have been expanded for utility assistance programs including the Universal Service Fund (USF) and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
• A family of four making up to $105,000 a year can now receive help to cover most, if not all, of what they owe.
• The expansion of income eligibility is more than double of the pre-pandemic limit.
• Eligibility has been expanded for USF’s Fresh Start Program, which provides forgiveness of past due balances as long as customers pay their monthly energy bills in full for a year.
• PSE&G is educating customers in our communities while offering more flexible payment options and new deferred payment arrangements (DPAs).
