(MERRILLVILLE) – NIPSCO has announced that additional energy assistance programs are now open for enrollment.
The programs are for income eligible customers, struggling to pay their gas utility bills.
Available programs include the NIPSCO Hardship Program; the SERV or Supply Energy Resources To Veterans Program and the SILVER or Seniors In Indiana Low Income And Vulnerable Energy Resources Program.
The NIPSCO Hardship Program assists customers whose income is just above the Federal poverty guidelines for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. This program provides gas bill assistance to households with income levels between 151% and 250% of the Federal poverty level.
SERV is an income eligible assistance program designed to support active military members and eligible veterans who need financial help with their gas utility bills. To qualify, customers must be active members of the United States Armed Forces or honorably discharged veterans with a past due NIPSCO residential gas account.
SILVER is an income eligible program available to NIPSCO senior customers ages 60 and older who require assistance with the gas utility charges. Seniors must have an active, past due residential gas account to be eligible.
Eligible customers can apply through May 31, 2025 or until funds are exhausted.
