3CE also supports other rate assistance programs such as Arrearage Management Plan (AMP) ā€” a new payment plan option to help qualifying residential customers reduce unpaid balances on their bills. AMPĀ  provides for up to $8,000 total arrearage forgiveness for CARE or FERA customers. Customers must be enrolled in CARE or FERA to be eligible for AMP. Customers must also owe at least $500 in arrearages, or $250 for gas-only customers, with some portion of the arrearage at least 90 days past due. NEM customers are not eligible to participate at this time.
Ā 
How it Works
Customers enrolled in AMP will receive forgiveness of 1/12 for their starting arrearage balance for every on-time payment of a current monthly bill, with a maximum possible amount of $8,000 in total forgiveness per 12-month period. Customers must make all 12 months of on-time payments to remain in the program. If a customer falls out of compliance, any amounts forgiven are not forfeited. If a customer falls out of compliance, they must wait for 12 months before re-enrolling.
