A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I need help paying my utility bills and was hoping you could help.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Energy Assistance and MEAP - Oakland County program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as At or below 150% FPL for energy assistance, Oakland County?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call 248-209-2600 or visit olhsa.org to apply.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
