Alabama Unemployment Help-Getting the Bills Paid
In the state of Alabama, for those who have energy problems, the low income or fixed income, or those who are receiving Alabama unemployment compensation because they have been laid off or lost their jobs in Alabama, there may be help for you in paying your utility bills if you’re having problems making ends meet.
Lets face it, not everyone has a savings account to fall back on.
LIHEAP is a low income energy assistance program that can help you to pay your bills when you’re out of work and have no other way to pay. You are eligible one time only during the course of a given year, but when you need the service it absolutely can help you pay off your bills. Getting registered and getting help before your utilities are shut off is your best bet. Don’t wait until your finances are in dire straits before you apply.

I was given a “General Discharge” (under Honorable conditions) from the U.S. Army almost two years ago. Therefore, I have no benefits, no health coverage, and last but worst I have to pay rent at my father’s home to live here which, in fact, comes out to about $100.00 per month, not to mention the food I have to buy for myself. I am taking a little bit of medication that (without Insurance) would cost me, or my dad Thousands of dollars. All I am asking for is a little help, and I am wanting to make a career for myself. Thank You.
