Like so many programs this is abused..I have seen clients intentionally not pay months of bills so they get shut off notices and then qualify for 'emergency ' help..

My guess is this is actually a false cut.. they will add additional funds in another bill because of need..

There's no shut off for heating oil or coal, maybe city gas. Both oil and coal have gotten crazy expensive. Oil costs more than gasoline for the first time. It's less refined so it has always been cheaper.

Heating oil has become my biggest annual expense.
