About this resource

This initiative provides financial assistance to low-income households in New York, making their electric and/or natural gas utility bills more manageable through monthly discounts.

To check if your account is enrolled, reach out to your utility provider. Customers can obtain information about the EAP program via phone, fax, mail, website, or email. The utility provider will provide details on eligibility, monthly benefit amounts, and any necessary application procedures.

Cost: No fees.
