Hulp bij utilities.
A shutoff notice, or bills that no longer fit the month.
Wat je vandaag kunt doen
- Call the utility before the due date: ask for a payment plan AND their hardship fund in the same call.
- Apply for LIHEAP early in the season, because funds run out.
- Many states restrict winter/medical shutoffs; ask the utility and 211 what protections apply to you.
