Help with utility bill for disabled

[Adamakin]

My name is Hollie. I have recently divorced out of an awful marriage. I have a child that is 21 with disability that is now with me and a son that is 9. I have not been able to work as much trying to get adjusted with my oldest living here now. He cannot stay by himself, which puts a strain on me and bills. I need help with my electric bill that is due on the 28th and possible with rent due on the 1st.
If there is anything you could help me with or lead me in the direction, I need to go I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Dear Sir: I would like to know. Can a "disabled" person who receives (SSDI/$1,100.00~monthly) get assistance to help with the monthly
Electric or Utility bill. However if he/she is sharing an apartment in Queens NY,
and must pay 1/2 of the bill. I look forward to your response. Thank You for your time, help
and cooperation. Sincerely.  
Hollis, NY 11423.

Anyone that is disabled should try LIHEAP. It gives priority to the disabled when applying. It will not pay for any phone bill though...only the heat and/or lights. Also, the $300 from LIHEAP also seems reasonable. Read more.

Hello,
I read on the website that you can help with rent and utilities. I am currently waiting on SSDI; I have Cerebal Palsy but I have filled out numerous job applications with no success. I am behind on my electric bill by 300 dollars and I need 735 in rent to keep my apartment. Can you help me? Thank you for your time.

Many states do have utility laws that are meant to protect for low income and disabled. So families have rights. There may be some for your state if your grandson has a life threatening medical condition. You may want to look into that, and we provided the link for information on utility disconnection laws for you.

Need help with electric & water. Urgent help is needed. Husband disabled, haven't received any benefits yet but received handicap sticker from doctors. Disability is still in process. Husband just got of the hospital yesterday (4/10/12). Tried 211 and it stays busy all the time. Tried Dallas County for (4) days and the waiting list is three months. Me and my husband have been married for 20 years and have always worked. Seems like that you can only receive help if NO one works and you have 5 children or more. I NEED HELP.

Are you a member of a union? We though we saw a post that indicates this. If so, an organization known as Union Plus offers members a number of utility, financial, and other assistance programs. One of the big ones is a home heating oil discount, and you can read more on Union Plus heating assistance and the discounts that people can apply for.

It sounds like you need more then help with just utilities. Here are more extensive Georgia financial assistance programs, for energy bills, disabled, and programs for families with children too. That amount of money is not great, so can understand the struggling that is occurring. Call your local town and city in the link sent, and find local ways to get help with bills, debts, etc. in Georgia.

I need help paying my utility bills in Georgia. I am unable to work due to medical problems and awaiting to hear from Disability. I have 3 teenage children, one is special needs. I only receive $700 a month between my sons SSi and child support. I can not pay all my bills with that amount of money. Any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Here is the information on California utility assistance programs, separated and broken up by power and utility company. One statewide program, for example, is known as the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) which is run by the Salvation Army and other non-profits. Southern California Gas also provides aid to individuals from the Gas Assistance Fund, and it can be called at 1-800-427-2200. Both of these are great options for the low to moderate income and people facing disconnection of their power.

Is Talquin Electric based in Florida. We have not heard of them. But we do have information on free Florida utility and cooling bill assistance programs. Many do help those who are disabled as well and they can get priority in funding and grants. Find information on electric bill help in Florida and who to call for help with paying electric bills from Talquin Electric and even Florida power.

Dear Sir or Madam,
My husband and I are on Talquin Electric and they, just today, switched our meter over to a digital meter. According to the technician, our bill will go up about $100. The problem is, our bill is almost $270. That will make the bill close to $400. My husband and I live on one salary. I stay at home with our son,who is a severe hemophiliac and is also autistic. We do receive SSS Disability for him, we will not be recieving the full amount for him this month. Due to the cuts the Governor made, we lost a good amount from my husbands salary. I looked on a few sites, but the only link I could find was to Florida Power, and our County was not listed on any of your sites. Since my son has a disability, and we are only living on one income, can we qualify for help with our bill? I read somewhere on here (I have been on so many sites) that families can recieve help each month on their bill. Any help we can get right now would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

So just looking for general financial assistance in Rhode Island? This may be your best link.
http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/sta ... progr.html
You can find info on various nation assistance programs, and if you page down get specific information and details on Rhode Island. Some veteran specific programs are offered too. Try the American Legion, call state government and ask for veteran aid, and maybe help speed up the unemployment claims process.

I just lost my job because of a new contractor came in and took over. I have been unemployed for two weeks now with no money coming in. Two days ago I received a oil bill

for $465.00, I am a 60% service connected veteran with multiple disability's. I am a member of the American Legion, and tried to contact then for help with a response of we are out of funds. I tried the VFW with no avail and the Veterans Hospital with no avail. I have tried multiple national,state, and local church organizations with the same answer no money for veterans. I am not sure if you know any organizations that may be able to help my situation, I do have multiple federal job interviews coming up in the next month after my back ground and security checks are completed. So it is not like I am not trying to find work, unemployment in the state of Rhode Island takes two months to process new claims. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time in this matter.
