Southern CA Gas Company Offers Assistance for SSI Recipients

If you are considering applying to the SSA for Supplemental Security Income benefits, you likely already feel the pressures of having little to no income. If you have not yet applied for SSI, you might be missing out on having some assistance with paying your utility bills.

According to Blackvoicenews.com, Southern California Gas Co. (The Gas Company) is offering programs to help select individuals pay their gas bill. In recognition of soaring gas bills during periods of cold weather, The Gas Company has recognized that some consumers may struggle making a payment on time.

If you currently receive help from sources like Supplemental Security Income, you will automatically qualify for the assistance program. Recipients of Women, Infants and Children, Healthy Families, Medi-Cal, Food Stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families also qualify.

Eligible individuals should contact The Gas Company before the bill due date in order to work out a payment plan or to negotiate having a payment waived for the month. If you have not yet applied for SSI, contact a lawyer to find out how to get started in the process.

If you, or your loved one, are suffering from a severe physical or mental disability, you should contact a Social Security Disability lawyer immediately to learn about your rights and determine eligibility.
