According to the utility company, if an active customer's outstanding balance was $100, they would have received $100 to offset their outstanding balances. SDG&E is notifying eligible customers via email and letters in the mail, if the CAPP funds credited to their account are more than $10. A message will also be included on eligible customers' bills to let them know that CAPP funds have been applied to their accounts.
Last week, following news of natural gas prices skyrocketing and local utility bills going up, SDG&E made $1 million in customer assistance funding available for those experiencing financial hardship. That assistance will be disbursed through the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, which provides up to $300 in one-time grants to help offset past-due bills for SDG&E customers who need help paying bills and aren't eligible for the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.Keep up with all the latest news, arts and culture, and TV highlights from KPBS.
