About this opportunity

Arrearage Retirement Assistance (ARA) helps eligible low-income Maryland households pay off large past-due electric and gas utility balances (arrearages). Eligible customers can receive a one-time grant of up to $2,000 applied directly toward their past-due utility balance. Customers must have a past-due bill of at least $300 to qualify and must already be eligible to receive a EUSP grant. The grant is available once every five years, with certain exceptions. Arrearage grants received between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 do not count toward the five-year limitation.
