NEW JERSEY NATURAL GAS HOLDS ENERGY ASSISTANCE DAYS Residents Facing Financial Hardship are Encouraged to Attend WALL, N.J. - If you are struggling to make ends meet, paying your energy bill doesn't need to be a burden. Whether a family or an individual is on a limited income or faced with unanticipated financial hardship, there are energy assistance and home energy-improvement programs available.
From mid-September through early October, New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) will host its annual Energy Assistance Days throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Morris counties. Representatives from NJNG and state- designated agencies will be available to work with members of the community to identify which programs best fit their needs and assist with the application process. To qualify and apply for energy-assistance programs, participants must provide proof of identification, proof of income, proof of home ownership or rental agreement and recent copies of both natural gas and electric utility bills.
On October 1, 2015, the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) will begin accepting applications for the 2015-2016 heating season. LIHEAP and the state's Universal Service Fund (USF) help income-eligible households meet home heating and medically necessary cooling costs. Moreover, NJNG's Gift of Warmth fund - along with the state-sponsored Payment Assistance Gas and Electric and NJ SHARES programs - provide energy assistance to households that exceed LIHEAP and USF income thresholds, but are experiencing temporary or unanticipated financial hardship. Households also may qualify for other energy assistance or home energy-improvement programs that help reduce energy costs.
Attend one of the upcoming Energy Assistance Days and learn how to manage your energy bills and prepare yourself or a loved one for the winter season. For more information, or to connect with NJNG's energy assistance specialists, call 800-221-0051 or e-mail energyassist@njng.com.
