FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 12, 2026
NYSEG and RG&E Increasing Awareness of Bill
Assistance Programs for Veterans
The Companies launch new effort to reach thousands of veterans who may be eligible
for additional assistance
Companies look to connect eligible customers with EAP benefits
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — October 12, 2026 — New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester
Gas and Electric (RG&E) are launching a new outreach initiative to increase awareness of bill
assistance programs for veterans.
There are thousands of veterans who are NYSEG and RG&E customers who may be eligible for
additional assistance, and while the Energy Affordability Program (EAP) is not automatically available,
customers receiving Veterans Disability or Survivors Pension may qualify for monthly EAP bill credits.
NYSEG and RG&E are working with veterans’ agencies, community organizations, and AVANVETS, a
dedicated employee resource group at Avangrid designed to support, connect, and empower
employees who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, to connect customers with resources.
“We know there are many veterans and their families that may qualify for programs designed to help
manage energy costs but are not aware of these benefits, and we are excited to launch this new effort
to the people and their families who have served our country,” said Kerby Sainclair, an AVANVETS
member. “Connecting customers with available assistance is an important part of our commitment to
the communities we serve, and as Veterans Day approaches, we want to connect as many people as
possible with resources like EAP and other bill relief options.”
The Companies’ outreach team will be at upcoming events where customers have the opportunity to
connect with customer service representatives one-on-one to ask questions, get help understanding
their bills, and get tools to better manage energy use.
Customer advocates can help determine whether customers qualify for EAP, which offers
an additional monthly bill credit, or the Enhanced Energy Affordability Program (EEAP).
Representatives can help with other financial assistance, including budget billing and payment plans.
Customers can also learn about energy efficiency programs and tools such as Energy Manager, which
allow customers to take control of their energy usage.
A full schedule of events is below:

Page 91
SECTION I - EMPLOYMENT AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1. The members of the Fire Company, while engaged in the performance of their
duties in answering, attending upon, or returning from any call provided for by this Contract,
shall be an independent contractor to the Town and shall have all the rights, privileges and
immunities granted by the laws of the State of New York.
The Fire Company shall at all times during the period of this contract be subject to call for
attendance upon any situation requiring Fire Protection Services occurring in the District. When
notified of a call within the District, the Fire Company shall respond and attend upon the call
without delay with suitable equipment and qualified personnel. Qualified personnel shall mean that
the responding individual shall have met the minimum training standards based on the fire fighter’s
tasks or position in responding to the emergency. The minimum training standards shall be in
accordance with the guidelines of the County of Erie Division of Fire Safety, as may from time to
time be promulgated and amended. Upon arriving at the scene of the call the firepersons attending
shall proceed diligently and, in every reasonable way, attend to the circumstances of the call
including the saving of life and property.
Fire Company covenants to participate fully in the Erie County mutual aid plan, and so
long as that plan remains in place, the rare failure of the Fire Company to respond to a call, or the
failure of the Fire Company to respond to a call when multiple calls arise at or about the same
time, shall not constitute a breach of this Contract.
2. By the first day of September of each year, the Fire Company shall provide a copy
of its budget for the following year, a fiscal year commencing January 1 to December 31, to the
Town. Along with the budget, the Fire Company shall provide a detailed breakdown of its capital
plans and statements setting forth its reserves showing compliance with its capital plans. The
capital plans or plan should detail: (1) the useful life of the Fire Company’s real property, apparatus,
and equipment; (2) anticipated capital repairs, maintenance, or replacement needed; and (3) whether
capital reserve funds have been established and the extent to which they are funded. Any singular
item anticipated to be repaired, maintained, or replaced at a cost greater than $25,000 should be
included in the capital plan.
3. The Fire Company shall have its records audited annually by an independent
certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants if required to do so pursuant to
Section 209-z of the General Municipal Law. If such an annual audit is required by statute,
within 180 days of the end of the Fire Company’s fiscal term, it shall submit a copy of its audit
report to the Town Board. If the Fire Company receives an extension of its time to file an IRS
Form 990, the deadline to submit its audit report to the Town Board will be extended by the
same number of days, provided the Fire Company advises the Town Board when it seeks the
extension of its time to file the IRS Form 990.
In the event that the Fire Company is not required by statute to complete an annual audit,
the Fire Company agrees that its audit committee will meet, at least annually, with the Town’s
financial staff and to make all of its financial statements and books available for review and
copying by the Town’s bookkeeper or auditor, with the Fire Company making its audit
committee and records available no later than June 30. The Town and Fire Company agree that
such a meeting and review, if conducted, does not mean that the Town in any way guarantees the
accuracy or completeness of the Fire Company’s financial records.
Following the approval by the Fire Company of a new member, the Fire Company shall
-2-
