Information available on setting up assistance and applying for grants
CHICAGO (Jan. 25, 2019) – ComEd representatives will be onsite at O'Hare International Airport Saturday, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., to assist employees of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) who may be struggling to cover their energy expenses following the ongoing government shutdown. TSA employees are asked to bring their federal ID to the site, where they can receive information on setting up payment assistance arrangements and applying for financial grants. On Wednesday, Jan. 23, ComEd met and assisted TSA employees at Midway International Airport.
In addition to providing bill assistance information to TSA employees at O'Hare, representatives from the ComEd® Energy Efficiency Program also will be available to provide energy-saving tips, including information on rebates, discounts, and more to help customers save at home. They can also schedule appointments for Home Energy Assessments that include free and discounted products and provide customers with personalized recommendations to help them save energy and money.
"As more federal employees face choices about how to pay their bills, we want to help provide assistance to customers who may be struggling,," said Jane S. Park, senior vice president, Customer Operations. "By providing on-site assistance and information, we hope to make it easier for these individuals to find the help they need."
