PUD offers bill relief to poor, elderly
The Snohomish County Public Utility District has budgeted $4.7 million over the next year to help senior citizens and low-income customers struggling with electric bills. The utility’s assistance programs are expected to help about 13,000 customers.
The threshold income level for seniors — those 62 years of age and older — is a combined household income of $21,000 annually. Low-income participants can receive help if their household income is below 125 percent of the federal established poverty level ($25,000 for a family of four).
Low-income customers need to reapply each year to receive assistance under the program. If seniors have not reapplied already in 2007, they need to reapply in order to ensure the utility has the most current information. For an application or more information about the PUD’s assistance programs, call 425-783-1000.
