ComEd is providing $50 million dollars in relief funding over the next five years to eligible customers in need. This support is made directly through the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act Trailer Bill passed last fall, and funds will be provided through the following three programs:

· Residential Special Hardship: Supplementing state-sponsored programs such as the Low Income Energy Assistance Program and the Percentage of Income Payment Plan,eligible customers can receive a grant of up to $500. The program began March 1 and will provide $8 million to eligible recipients in 2012.

· C.H.A.M.P (ComEd Helps Active Military Personnel): Active military and veterans experiencing hardship may be eligible to receive a grant of up to $1,000. Other benefits may include: deposit refund, forgiveness of late payment charges, deferred payment plans and budget payment plans. The program will provide $500,000 to eligible recipients in 2012.

· ComEd will launch its Non-Profit Special Hardship program for non-profit organizations in May 2012.

Since 2007, ComEd has distributed more than 930,000 grants to eligible customers who need assistance paying their electricity bills, and our commitment remains unwavering.

Customers may apply for these grants at their local Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) agency. More information is available by calling 888-806-CARE or by visiting ComEd.com/CARE.
