Low-Income Rate Assistance
Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP)
Under PIPP, an eligible client pays a percentage of their income, receive a monthly benefit towards their utility bill, and receive a reduction in overdue payments for every on-time payment they make by the bill due date.
To enroll in the PIPP, contact your local LIHEAP administering agency.
Illinois Patriot Plan
Under the Illinois Patriot Plan, a residence where the primary occupant is on deployment and having difficulty paying their gas bill cannot be disconnected from gas service or charged any late fees for non-payment during the deployment period. However, the customer is still responsible for the full balance on the account when the deployed primary occupant returns home. This rule only applies to bills incurred during the time period when the service person is deployed, and not to previous balances.
