The Brazos Electric Ratepayer Hardship Fund assistance program provides bill credits to eligible low-income residential cooperative members. This financial assistance will help to cover the charge associated with Winter Storm Uri in 2021.

Are you eligible?

• Only current members of MidSouth Electric Cooperative are eligible to participate.
• If a member of your household meets the criteria for LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), your household may qualify.
• If not already a LIHEAP or SNAP participant, you may still qualify for assistance if your household income is at or below 200% of the poverty line.
• Eligibility will last two years, with the opportunity to reapply the following year for additional benefit.
• If you qualify, the credit you receive may be the actual amount of the Uri-related charge, or an estimated amount calculated pursuant to program rules.
