Thanks! We managed to pay the gas (national grid) and electric (eversource) but barely. Sometimes, it would be a little late, and I would send what we could in increments.

Now that you are qualified on your first year,requalification is much easier and national grid will now know by late december if you've requalified and you won't be shut off for non-payment.So next year you have no worries and you can let FA pay it all.

As far as this year I can't tell you because I have Berkshire Gas and they may be different that national Grid.Hopefully you'll get a credit!

The application was lengthy, but we submitted everything. It was pending for about 3 months. I've been unemployed while going through treatment for breast cancer. We relied on my husband's income, and while having small kids at home, it sure was nerve wracking..especially with the price of groceries. I appreciate your response!

Glad you were able to get approved! I’m sure it’s a help esp with the increase in fuel this year .

The first application is awful ,from now on you only need to report changes ,but if no changes it's just sign and return next year
