If you meet the eligibility requirements, a link can be found at the end of the Payment Extensions page to extend your disconnection date by 7 days. A message will appear at the top of the Payment Extensions page if you are ineligible to receive a payment extension at this time.

Note that if you have already created a payment extension, the link is not visible, but you can view information about your existing payment extension in the table.
