I did read the letter, the letter only describes a single bill. If there’s a recurring impact, the letter fails to state what that recurring impact would be over what term. Reading the utility page, I’m still not sure. It sounds like there’s some convoluted combination of energy credit funding specifically pertaining to heating, and a ‘stopgap’ credit was withdrawn but not the primary funding (yet). The utility page pegs the total value of the grants at $1 million, which doesn’t jive with just one time $100 to only 250 people, so either there’s some recurring impact, more people impacted, or it was only cancelled after $975,000 had already been paid out for this season and it was too late to claw back the rest. If that were the case then you might have a recurring $100 a year for 10,000 people. It’s just hard to tell from the readily available sources.
Liheap is a federal program that pays a portion of energy bills for low income households. It’s a national program, and affects people in every state.
This letter is from ONE utility company in AL. They sent the letter to 100 of THEIR customers to explain why their bills would be going up $100. There are many other people in other areas that will be affected, but those utility companies may or may not send a similar letter saying “TRUMP DID THIS TO YOU!”
That’s not accurate. Did you read the letter?
They were getting a $100 credit on their bill because of the Federal Program.
Until the funding is reinstated, they will not be getting the $100 discount.
