Utility payment arrangements for military service personnel

When a household member has been ordered into active duty, for deployment, or for a change of duty station, some members may find it hard to pay their utility bills. Minnesota law protects these military personnel from shut-off if they cannot pay their utility bills in full.

How to apply

Contact Itasca-Mantrap to obtain an application and make a payment plan, which you must keep to qualify for protection.

Payment plans

  • If your household income is below the state median household income, pay ten percent of your household’s gross monthly income toward your electric bill; or
  • If you receive energy assistance, pay ten percent of your household’s gross monthly income toward your electric bill; or
  • If your household income is above the state median household income, make and keep a payment plan.
