Help paying your bills

If you have trouble paying your bills

If you fall behind on your car payments, call your lender. Ask if they have a program to help you delay some of your payments or lower them.

Your gas, electric, internet, phone and other utilities

Utility companies cannot shut off service to your home before November 15, 2020.  After November 15, 2020, you may be able to stop a shut-off if you qualify for winter heat protection.  See Keep Your Heat From Getting Shut Off This Winter.  During the COVID-19 crisis internet and cell phone companies have special plans.
