PSC Highlights Seniors During Older Americans Month

"This year's OAM theme is Powered by Connection. The PSC connects with seniors every month through in person visits to local senior and community centers statewide," said PSC Chairman Mike La Rosa. "Our visits help empower seniors by offering assistance on a range of utility-related issues, from understanding utility usage and billing to providing tips on how to spot and avoid scams targeting utility customers."

PSC representatives will visit senior and community centers in Orange, Brevard, and Hillsborough Counties during OAM to talk with visitors about energy and water conservation to lower utility bills and the Lifeline Assistance program to receive discounted phone/broadband service. Older residents in Duval County will also receive PSC assistance during the Jacksonville Senior Expo.

Visit the PSC's website, www.FloridaPSC.com, for information to support seniors' utility-related concerns.
