Posted November 09, 2020 10:00 pm

CHICAGO - ComEd said it established a Helping Hand program to provide one-time, $300 grants to residential customers facing hardships related to the coronavirus pandemic.

For a limited time, this financial-assistance program provides $300 to help low-income customers, and those who express financial hardship, reduce past-due balances.

"As the number of COVID-19 cases increases throughout northern Illinois, we understand that the pandemic continues to create significant financial hardship for many of our customers," said ComEd CEO Joe Dominguez. "That's why we continue to evaluate and find new ways - like our new Helping Hand program to support customers and communities most in need."

Assistance through the Helping Hand program will be administered directly through ComEd, which expedites the verification process so that customers can receive grants more quickly. Residential customers can apply for Helping Hand grants atComEd.com/PaymentAssistance.
