New York State Electric and Gas Bill Relief Program
Residential customers who receive qualifying government assistance will receive a bill credit on their past-due balance for service through May 1, 2022.
Note: All customers are responsible for bills after May 1.
To qualify for a bill credit, you must:
- Be enrolled in Con Edison’s Energy Affordability Program by December 31, 2022, or;
- Have received benefits under New York state’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) or the Home Energy Assistance Program-Regular Arrears Supplement (RAS).
If you are enrolled in Con Edison’s Energy Affordability program or received ERAP or RAS benefits, your bill credit will be processed automatically, and you do not need to take any action. In addition, your service will not be suspended for non-payment while your bill credit is being processed.
Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
HEAP helps low-income people pay the cost of heating their homes. If you are eligible, you may receive one regular HEAP benefit per program year.
Emergency HEAP Benefit
If you are in danger of running out of fuel or having your energy service shut off, you may also be eligible for emergency benefits. The 2021–2022 Emergency HEAP Benefit opened January 3, 2022.
Beginning February 22, 2022, a second Emergency HEAP Benefit is available for households who:
- Have exhausted both the Regular HEAP Benefit and first Emergency HEAP Benefit
- Are in a heat or heat-related energy emergency, as defined by HEAP
- Met the eligibility guidelines for emergency benefit assistance
If you are eligible, the Emergency HEAP Benefit can help you heat your home if you are in a heat or heat related emergency.
