The Eugene Water & Electric Board is now offering qualified customers who have become unemployed up to $200 in payment assistance on their electric bill. We want to help our neighbors who are suffering from the current economic crisis to keep the heat and electricity on in their homes. As a citizen-owned utility, EWEB is lending a hand to help our customers. We created Community Care, a $4.4 million economic assistance fund for 2009 that also helps senior citizens and other people with limited incomes. You’re eligible for the jobless benefit if you are currently receiving Unemployment Insurance payments and have not received EWEB low-income assistance since Oct. 1, 2008. Call us or visit our website for more information or help. 484-6016 www.eweb.org EUGENE WEEKLY MAY 7, 2009 3
