Note on Door states that electric will be turned off in 48 hours we have been paying the budget amount but still owe 1800.00. I was on medical waiver but they discontinued it. I called they never sent another.
We have been paying the 195.00 a month - they raised it to 220.00, we tried they now raised it to 350 month and we just cannot keep up with it. We are trying and please help us!
I have asked for this before and you denied me. This cannot be anymore!!!!!

Winona County, Lewiston, Minnesota and need power bill help with 48 hours.
We have applied for Energy Assistance thru Semcac in Rushford, MN
They are still processing the form for the emergency 48 hour power bill assistance. We are on SNAP and received assistance in the past.
I am a SSDI disabled 61 year old Veteran married to disabled past SSI recipient. I have been in and out of the hospital (Mayo & Winona hospital) since August with level 3 Ulcerative Colitis, doing infusion therapy treatments / C-diff complications.
I called Semcac and Winona County Social services. Was told to try Salvation Army...
My car broke down also.
So if there is any ideas to keep the power on after 48 hours please let me know!

We also have other power and utility bill programs listed for MN. But 48 hours is not much time....you probably waited too long to seek an application. However look here for help with power bill in MN.
