Financial Help Provided: Ohio’s Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus
Full Description:
The fore-runner of PIPP Plus had been in effect for more than 20 years. It was (as is PIPP Plus) an extended payment arrangement that requires regulated gas and electric companies to accept payments based on a percentage of the household income. Both programs are authorized as a part of the Universal Service Fund program enabled by Substitute Senate Bill 3, which also directs the Office of Community Services to administer the PIPP for electricity customers. In response to input for advocates of consumers, businesses, and low-income advocates, the program was changed to provide greater stewardship of monies, operate more efficiently with other programs, and better serve the citizens of Ohio needing the programs support.
Under PIPP Plus, if you heat with gas, you pay 6 percent of your monthly household income to your gas company and 6 percent to your electric company. If you heat with electricity, you pay 10 percent of your monthly household income. The Community Action Agency 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.
