ComEd Support
ComEd understands that some families may be experiencing financial hardship as a result of the ongoing pandemic. That is why they are taking the time to let you know of the bill assistance options available to help those struggling with past-due balances.
If you could benefit from additional support, please call us immediately at 1-800-EDISON1 (1-800-334-7661), M-F, 7am-7pm. Our customers can also visit ComEd.com/Support to learn more about the following payment assistance options and eligibility requirements:
• CARE Customer Hardship Grants. Residential customers facing financial hardship may be eligible to receive one-time CARE grants from ComEd to help them get back on their feet.
• COVID-19 Financial Bill Assistance. A one-time bill assistance credit of up to $500 is available this year for eligible, low-income households.
• Flexible, Extended Payment Arrangements. For a limited time, low-income households and
residential customers expressing financial hardship may be eligible for a flexible payment
arrangement so they can spread balances over 24 payments, with 0% down. Residential customers who may not be facing financial hardship, but would like to spread balances, may be able to do so over 18 payments, with no more than 25% down.
• Waiver of New Deposits and Fee Relief. ComEd is waiving any new deposit requirements for a limited time for customers expressing financial hardship and extending relief from various fees (such as reconnection fees) to help low-income residential customers.
• State and Federal Financial Energy Assistance. Illinois’ Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) and the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) also provide valuable financial help to households that may be facing financial challenges.
