Behind on your PECO bill? You may be eligible for a $750 credit

I just got that notice from PECO and I'm literally so relieved they're increasing the relief fund . I was one of those people who was worried about getting my energy bill paid on time, you know? My hubby lost his job last month and we were stressing 'bout how we'd pay our bills . But now with this new program, I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders . I'm definitely gonna apply for the extra $250 credit, it's like they're giving us a little bit of breathing room . And I love that it's open to households who make more than just minimum wage, you know? My friends and I are all making good money but still can't afford to pay our energy bills . It's like, we work hard and deserve some relief too!

I think its really cool that PECO is stepping up to help out households struggling with their energy bills . It makes sense too - with all the data centers popping up around here, it's no wonder costs are rising . I mean, who doesn't love a good game of online gaming or streaming shows without breaking the bank . Anyway, the fact that they're expanding the Customer Relief Fund to offer more assistance is definitely a win for people who are just trying to make ends meet . And it's great that they're partnering with the United Way and Exelon to make sure everyone has access to this help . I hope it makes a big difference in people's lives!

Yaaas, PECO is literally saving lives over here! I mean, who wouldn't want an extra $250 credit on top of their initial payment? It's about time they expanded the program to help those hardworking families who are struggling to make ends meet. I know someone who knows someone and it's gonna be a huge relief for them! The fact that it's open until Dec 31 or funds run out is just awesome, PECO is really showing its commitment to helping those in need!

Ugh, just great... another energy crisis hitting PA . People are literally struggling to pay their bills and now PECO's increasing the Customer Relief Fund, but it's still gonna be a stretch for many families . I mean, who isn't affected by rising costs right? It's like PJM Interconnection is just leaving everyone hanging . And don't even get me started on the income caps . 151% to 300% of federal poverty level is basically middle-class America. Only people making a decent wage are gonna be eligible for this help... meanwhile, lots of folks are still stuck in the red .

I'm so relieved PECO is stepping up with this expanded Customer Relief Fund! As a parent, it's heartbreaking to see families struggling to pay those overdue energy bills . The fact that they're offering up to a $750 credit per household is huge news . It's about time we acknowledge the impact of rising energy costs on low-to-moderate income households .

I love that the eligibility criteria have been broadened to include more families who make too much to qualify for assistance but not enough to be financially secure . It's like they're saying, 'Hey, you work hard and deserve some support!' That $250 credit on top of the initial payment is a game-changer .

The fact that this program is funded by PECO in partnership with Exelon and the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey shows that there's hope for us to make things better . As parents, we want our kids to grow up in a world where everyone has access to basic necessities like energy . Fingers crossed this program makes a real difference!

You know how the cost of living just keeps going up and up ? It's like nobody's immune to it. I feel for people who are struggling to make ends meet, especially with energy bills piling up . PECO's Customer Relief Fund is a good start, but you wish there was more . Data centers and all that tech stuff is definitely contributing to the problem .

I'm glad they're trying to reach more households, though. It's not just low-income folks who are struggling, it's a lot of people in the middle income range too . We need to find ways to make energy more affordable for everyone. Maybe we can learn from other states or countries that have already implemented similar programs .

One thing I do hope is that PECO and others keep pushing for renewable energy sources . It's not just good for the environment, but also for our wallets in the long run. We need to take care of ourselves and our communities while we're at it .
