Ameren Illinois will be providing qualified residential customers who are struggling to pay their energy bills up to $700 in bill assistance. Under the “Fresh Start” program, the company has allocated $8 million in funds.
A family of four with a monthly income of up to $4,367 can receive up to $400 for electric bills and $300 for natural gas bills. However, if you’re in that income range, you must first receive assistance from the Illinois Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program before applying for “Fresh Start” funding.
Families of four that take in monthly incomes of $4,367-$7,642 can possibly receive up to $200 for electric bills and $150 for natural gas bills.
