Subchapter 1 - LIFELINE CREDIT PROGRAM/TENANTS LIFELINE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Section 10:167D-1.1 - Purpose and intent
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The intent of the Lifeline Credit Program is to provide a minimum supply of gas and electricity for heating, lighting, cooling, cooking, and other essential household usages, which have been determined to be necessities of life, to those residential utility customers whose level of income and age or disability status makes it difficult to meet the extraordinary and unprecedented energy costs which have been experienced in recent years.
(b) The intent of the Tenants' Lifeline Assistance Program is to afford assistance to residents who, by virtue of their level of income and age or disability status, would be eligible for the Lifeline Credit Program; but because their utility costs are included as part of the rental, they do not receive an individual utility bill, and are, therefore, ineligible for the Lifeline Credit Program, but who are nonetheless deserving of financial relief from burdensome energy costs.
