Find Help with Utility Costs

Rising utility bills are a challenge for many across the Garden State, especially those on fixed incomes. To help older New Jersey residents and their families lower their utility bills, AARP New Jersey has an online list of payment assistance programs.

Among other tips and resources, the site includes information on several financial assistance programs, including New Jersey’s Public Utilities Universal Service Fund, which provides a credit for eligible households’ energy bills, and the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, which offers assistance on utility bills to lower-income households.
