CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On the first day of April, many households and businesses will have new bills to pay – from credit card companies, retailers and utilities. To help those who may experience a financial strain related to the COVID-19 pandemic, ComEd experts are available to discuss enhanced options to help customers pay their electric bills:
- the suspension of service disconnections and waiving of new late fees for all customers until at least May 1,
- working with residential customers who had their electric service disconnected for a non-safety issue to try to have their power reconnected.
ComEd experts can also discuss donations to support relief organizations across the state serving individuals, families and communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic, including:
- $250,000 with Exelon to United Way of Metro Chicago and the Chicago Community Trust’s COVID-19 Response Fund
