As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households $30 per month off their internet bills. ACP-eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers.

To deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers to offer ACP-eligible households a high-speed internet plan for no more than $30 per month. Eligible families who pair their ACP benefit with one of these plans can receive high-speed internet at no cost.

Winter temperatures in Wisconsin can get below zero. The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) helps individuals and families with heating costs, electric costs, and energy crisis situations. The UMOS Milwaukee and Kenosha County programs provide warm assistance to households to help lower the burden incurred with monthly energy costs, especially during winter months. However, the assistance is not intended to cover all heating or electric costs. WHEAP heating and electric assistance is a one-time payment during the Wisconsin heating season.

The UMOS Kenosha County and Milwaukee County office continued to provide a co-payment agreement option for clients, while working directly with WE Energies to make the payment plan more affordable for low income clients.

Las temperaturas invernales en Wisconsin pueden bajar de cero. El Programa de Asistencia de Energía para el Hogar de Wisconsin (WHEAP) ayuda a las personas y familias con los costos de calefacción, electricidad y situaciones de crisis energética. Los programas de UMOS Milwaukee y el condado de Kenosha brindan asistencia cálida a los hogares para ayudar a reducir la carga incurrida con los costos de energía mensuales, especialmente durante los meses de invierno. Sin embargo, la asistencia no está destinada a cubrir todos los costos de calefacción o electricidad. La asistencia eléctrica y de calefacción de WHEAP es un pago único durante la temporada de calefacción de Wisconsin.

La oficina de UMOS del condado de Kenosha y del condado de Milwaukee continuó brindando una opción de acuerdo de copago para los clientes, mientras trabajaba directamente con WE Energies para hacer que el plan de pago sea más asequible para los clientes de bajos ingresos.
