SOCIAL SECURITY NOT ENOUGH

[Trew1]

I AM 67yrs OLD TRYING TO GET BY ON MY SOCIAL SECURITY. I LIVE

IN A BIG OLD HOUSE AND JUST PAID A $750 ELECT. BILL. THE HOUSE

IS TOTAL ELECTRIC INCLUDING THE FURNACE.

I WAS JUST HOPING THAT MABY I COULD GET SOME SORT OF HELP

BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE AT LEAST ONE MORE BIG BILL COMMING UP.


PLEASE ADVISE,

$750 electric bill is ridiculous. Way too high. Unless your house is a mansion, you are overpaying.
Many utility and electric companies offer financial assistance and/or weatherization type programs. Basically if you are elderly, low income, etc. (which sounds like you may be a senior citizen if on social security) then you may qualify for free energy conservation improvements. Or maybe even grants to pay your electric and energy bills. Find more information on the programs here.

Ridiculous if you ask me, being so little over the limit. that is the government for you. Only the poorest can get help. Moderate income have much more difficult time. But here are options in your area.
Desert Mission, Inc 602.331.5792 is a great place to call for information and referrals.
Tolleson Community Services Division (phone number (623) 936-7111) is another leadign non-profit agency for help or financial aid.
