Energy and Medicaid assistance help

Energy and Medicaid assistance help

 

  • Energy Assistance

  • The Maryland Energy Assistance Program (MEAP) provides assistance grants to help with home heating bills. Payments are made to the fuel supplier and utility company on the customer's behalf.

  • The Electric Universal Service Program (EUSP) provides financial assistance with electric bills. Eligible customers receive help that pays a portion of their current electric bills. Some EUSP participants may qualify for assistance with past due electric bills as well as referrals to energy efficiency programs. Customers who receive EUSP are placed on a budget billing plan with their utility company.

  • The Utility Service Protection Program (USPP) protects low-income families from utility cut-offs and allows MEAP eligible households to enter into a year-round even monthly payment program with their utility company.

 

  • Medical Assistance

  • Please note that applications for Medical Assistance programs can be filed at your local health department, local department of social services, Dr.’s office and hospital Social Work Departments.
