New Jersey's Universal Service Fund can provide a monthly credit on eligible households' natural-gas or electric bills. DCA says USF applications are accepted year round and share an application with the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. You can apply online through DCAid or use the paper application and a local application agency. Eligibility and assistance amounts depend on the program's current rules, so check the official guidance for your household.
