Lucas County, Ohio
Helps eligible Ohioans manage their energy bills year-round, offering households affordable monthly payments that help maintain gas and electric services. If your home is heated with gas, you will have a monthly payment of 5% of your household income for your natural gas bill, and 5% of your household income for your electric bill. If you heat with electricity, your monthly payment is 10% of your household income. The balance of your utility bill is subsidized by the state of Ohio. There is a minimum monthly payment of $10.00. Paying on time and in-full each month reduces your outstanding balance. Each time a household makes their PIPP PLUS payment on time and in full, they will receive credits towards old utility debt and prevent new utility debt from occurring. If you make 24 on-time and in-full payments, and you have an outstanding balance, your outstanding balance with your utility company will be eliminated. Once you are enrolled in the PIPP program, you are required to re-verify your income each year. You must also be caught up on all your PIPP payments by your anniversary date, which is the date you signed up for PIPP. Failure to report changes in the household income or household members, missing a payment, or not re-verifying your income can result in being dropped from the program.
