Energy Assistance delays: Other options

The Minnesota Department of Commerce has confirmed that federal Energy Assistance funds have been released. Minnesota has received a total amount of funding similar to previous years. The Department of Commerce and service providers will be working hard to get funds out as soon as possible. It will likely take a few days to get funds to everyone whose paperwork is already processed.
