Understanding the Household Assistance Program
PSEG Long Island’s Household Assistance Program is designed to help low-income households with their energy bills. The program offers a monthly discount on the customer’s bill, which can range from $10 to $50 per month, depending on the customer’s eligibility. • The program is available to customers who meet certain income guidelines, which are adjusted annually to reflect changes in the federal poverty level. • Customers must also be enrolled in a benefit program, such as Medicaid or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), to be eligible for the program.
This service is available to customers with balances between $1,000 and $20,000. If a customer is experiencing financial hardship, PSEG Long Island offers hardship programs or a payment plan. Hardship programs are available for customers who are unable to pay their bills due to unexpected events such as illness, death, or job loss. Payment plans can be established for customers who are facing financial difficulties due to changes in income or expenses. Customers can also reach out to PSEG Long Island’s customer service team via phone, email, or mail to request assistance with their bills. PSEG Long Island also offers a variety of programs to help customers manage their energy costs, such as their Energy Savings Program.
