Your information is protected. We only use your income and household information to verify that you’re eligible for the program.

No. In fact, by applying for Bill Discount Rate, an application will automatically be created for you, applying for our HELP assistance program. To apply for LIHEAP you will need to contact your local community agency.

We will ask a small percentage of customers enrolled to provide proof of household income to ensure that only qualified customers are receiving the benefit of the Bill Discount Rate program. Customers who are selected for verification have 90 days to prove their eligibility for the program.

• Once you submit your application, we will review your information to see whether you qualify for the program. Please allow 30 days for your application to be processed.
• After you’re approved, we will send you a notification email to confirm your enrollment and the percentage of discount you will receive.
• After you apply, we will automatically create an application for our PSE HELP program grant, where you could receive a credit on your account for up to $1,000.

• Your monthly discount will last for 13 months. You will need to re-enroll after one year, but we will send you a reminder in advance. The discount only applies to new energy charges billed after enrollment. The discount does not apply to charges billed prior to enrollment.
• The discount may not apply to the next bill you receive, but the following bill after that and you will see it reflected on your bill.
• Certain charges are not included in the discount. The discount only applies to service and energy charges.

After one year, you will need to submit a new application and report any changes at that time.

Receiving a utility allowance does not impact your ability to enroll in the program.

A disconnection does not impact your participation in this program. You will still be enrolled.

If you do not have any income, mark your current income as $0.

Yes, you can remain on the Budget Payment plan after enrolling in Bill Discount Rate.

The discount you could potentially receive is based on several factors, your household’s income, the number of people in your household and the county you live in. Using this information, should you qualify, we will place you in one of six discount tiers, based on level of financial need.

All individuals who live fulltime at the address that is being used to apply for assistance.

This means the combined income of all household members age 18 or older.

The option that best describes your current residence status. Do you own your home, rent or are you living in subsidized housing?

The best description of your home. A 1-3 family home is a single-family dwelling, a duplex, a triplex or other consisting of three or fewer connected units. A 4+ family home is an apartment or condominium with four or more units. A Hi-Rise is an apartment building with three or more floors. A mobile is a mobile home. An RV is a recreational vehicle.

To start, we estimate the total annual energy cost at your location based on previous energy usage, divide that cost by 12 months, and bill for the average monthly cost. If you have lived at the location for less than 1 year, the monthly average payment will reflect usage by previous occupants. If the location is new construction, the monthly average payment will be based on usage at similar locations.

We review your actual energy usage and monthly payment amount in March, June, and November. If your actual energy usage is higher or lower than the estimate, then your monthly Budget Payment Plan payment amount may increase, decrease, or remain the same at those times.

In June, we determine if you have over- or under-paid for actual energy used for the entire year (from June to June). If you over-paid, then you will receive a refund or credit. If you under-paid, you will be billed for the outstanding balance.

All residential customers in good standing (no past due balance) are eligible for the Budget Payment Plan.

If you have both gas and electric service from PSE, the Budget Payment Plan will include both. It is not possible to pick one service (electric or gas) for the Budget Payment Plan.

If you have lived at the location for less than 1 year, the monthly average payment will reflect usage by previous occupants. If the location is new construction, the monthly average payment will be based on usage at similar locations.

You can cancel the Budget Billing Plan at any time. Payment for any outstanding balance on the account is due at the time of cancellation. You cannot re-start the Budget Billing Plan for 6 months after cancellation.

To remain on the Budget Payment Plan, payments must be made on-time. You will be removed from the Budget Payment Plan if no payments are received for 2 consecutive billing periods.

If you are removed from the plan due to failure to pay, then the entire balance will be due at that time.

No, the Budget Payment Plan does not reduce your energy costs. The Budget Payment Plan payment is based on average energy usage for 1 year, so it smooths-out your payments – avoiding the unplanned high bills that come with events such as hot or cold weather.
