NEW YORK -- Some relief is on the way for New Yorkers feeling the squeeze on gas and electric bills.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announces $567 million to pay past-due balances for some low-income families.

This is for customers enrolled in the Energy Affordability Program.

Any newly eligible low-income customers who enroll in the EAP before Dec. 31 of this year will also be included in the bill credit program.
