PERCENTAGE OF INCOME PAYMENT PLAN (PIPP)

Utility Assistance

PIPP is an extended payment arrangement that requires regulated gas and electric companies to accept payments based on a percentage of the household income.

Income Eligibility: Below 175% Federal Government Income Poverty Level (See Benefits-Income Guidelines for chart reference)

If you heat with gas:

  • You pay 5 percent of your monthly household income to your gas company
  • You pay 5 percent of your monthly household income to your electric company

If you heat with electricity

  • You pay 10 percent of your monthly household income

The local energy assistance provider or utility company will inform you of your PIPP Plus installment.
** Once you are enrolled in the program, you must pay your installment every month in full and on time.
