City of Reno ~ Sewer Rebate Program

If you are a City of Reno resident and a property owner or renter and you are receiving benefits from: • The Nevada State Welfare Division Energy Assistance Program (EAP) • Social Security Disability Income (SSD) due to a disability (until full retirement age is reached) • Supplemental Social Security Income (SSSI) • Veterans Administration Disability (VA) benefits due to a disability (Veteran only)

You may also be eligible for a sewer rebate from the City of Reno. Applicants are required to provide the annual letter of determination of benefits showing EAP, SSSI, SSD or VA disability. Documents must be dated within the LAST twelve (12) months. Unfortunately, the State of Nevada will not verify EAP participation for the City of Reno.

The City of Reno is rebating up to $173, per household, to eligible applicants. Funds will be disbursed on a first come/first serve basis. The rebate will be issued to only those eligible applicants who apply during the period of July 1, 2019 to August 30, 2019.

Applications will not be accepted until July 1, 2019 and those submitted after August 30, 2019 will not be eligible. AND any required documentation must be submitted IN PERSON by August 30, 2019. No exceptions will be made. You must complete an application and submit in person to:

Reno Sewer Rebate Program City Hall

1 E 1st St – First Floor, Reno, NV 89501

775-334-2365

End-of-Life Planning Legal Clinic Who would make end-of-life decisions for you if you became

unable to? Advanced Directives are legal documents that allow you to spell out your decisions about end of life care ahead of time. These important documents give you a way to tell your wishes to family, friends and health care professionals and

can help avoid confusion about your wishes. The Northern Nevada Alliance for Health and Justice is

hosting a FREE Advanced Directives Clinic at HOPES! At the clinic, an attorney from Washoe Legal Services will be available to discuss the different types of advanced directives

and assist you with document preparation.
