Lower your bill · Savings Finder
Five questions, about a minute. You get one list of the Maryland programs that can lower or help pay your bill, with the direct route to each. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Shut-off notice in hand? Skip the quiz and call (443) 222-1221.
Count everyone, including children.
Everyone in the home, before taxes. A rough answer is fine; this only sorts the list.
Does anyone in your home get OHEP, SNAP, Medicaid or WIC?
Pick everything that applies.
"Likely" means your answers fit the program's rules. "Check" means it depends on details the program decides. Nothing here is a guarantee; the agency or utility makes the final call.
In the order we'd do them. Each card links to a plain-language page with the official route first. Utility Advisor receives no compensation for any referral.
Most households qualify for two or three of these and have never been told. The finder sorts them by your utility, whether you rent, your household size and income, and whether anything is urgent.
