Income Qualified Programs - CARE/FERA Rate Programs

CARE/FERA Program Capitation Fee Project

Southern California Edison Company (SCE) is pleased to announce the availability of the Capitation Fee Project to increase customer participation in SCE's California Alternate Rates for Energy and Family Electric Rate Assistance (CARE/FERA) Programs.

SCE's CARE Program offers customers a discount of 20% or more off their monthly electric bill. Customers may qualify for the CARE or FERA Programs if they meet the income guidelines and other program requirements. These income guidelines and program requirements are detailed in the CARE/FERA Program Application.

Under the Capitation Fee Project, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has authorized SCE to pay a capitation fee to participating organizations for each new customer they help to enroll in the CARE or FERA Program. This project is intended to encourage community-based-organizations to partner with SCE to assist their hardest-to-reach customer populations with enrollment in the CARE or FERA Program.

The capitation fee reimburses entities for the incremental work associated with assisting customers in completing a CARE/FERA Program Application. The fee authorized by the CPUC ranges from $1 to a maximum of $15. The capitation fee is paid only for customers actually enrolled in the CARE or FERA Program as a result of an agency’s assistance; Capitation fees are not paid for:

  1. Any efforts that do not result in a customer being enrolled in the CARE or FERA Program.
  2. Applications that are rejected as incomplete, ineligible, illegible, or other reasons.
  3. Applications received for customers already participating in the CARE or FERA Program.
