What is Arrearage Management Plan (AMP)?

The Arrearage Management Plan (AMP) Program is a debt forgiveness payment plan option for residential CARE and FERA customers who have past due bills totaling $500 or greater which are at least 90 days old. In exchange for making on-time payment of your current monthly bill, AMP will forgive 1/12 of the eligible total past due amount. Other terms and conditions are detailed below in the FAQ’s*.

How Does AMP Work?

The AMP program will forgive 1/12 of your eligible utility debt after each on-time payment of your current bill. After 12 on-time payments of individual monthly bills, the debt is fully forgiven (up to $8,000 per customer).

NOTE: Once you are approved for AMP, you will receive a new Contract Account number.

Once your application has been processed and you have been issued a new Contract Account Number, it is very important to ensure that all monthly payments are received by SCE before the due date and paid in full. Customers who miss two sequential or three non-sequential payments will be removed from AMP.

Who Is Eligible For AMP?

To be eligible for AMP, customers must:

  • Be enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program
  • Have total arrears of $500 or greater, some of which are at least 90 days old
  • Have been a customer of SCE for at least six months
  • Have made an on-time payment within the last 24 months that equals or exceeds the most current customer bill at the time of payment

NOTE: Customers who enroll in the AMP program are not eligible for installment plans.

IMPORTANT: Net Energy Metering (NEM), Direct Access (DA), and master metered customers are not currently eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I know if my past due bills are at least 90 days old?

If the past due amount displayed on your current bill is greater than the sum of your previous two months’ bills, you most likely owe an amount that is at least 90 days old. You can also call 1-800-655-4555 to receive help in determining eligibility.

Where can I see my total past due amount?

Your most recent bill will display any amount past due at the time the bill was mailed. You can also call 1-800-655-4555 to receive help in determining eligibility.

What counts as an on-time payment?

On-time payment is defined as a payment that equals or exceeds the current monthly bill within 19 days of the bill date.

Where can I find information about AMP in SCE’s CPUC-approved tariffs?

SCE’s AMP is in accordance with SCE’s Rule 9 and Schedules D-CARE, D-FERA, TOU-D, and TOU-D-T, which can be found by visiting https://www.sce.com/regulatory/tariff-books.

Are NEM (net energy metering) customers eligible for AMP?

At this time, NEM customers are not eligible for AMP. These customers may be included in the future.

Are Direct Access (DA) customers eligible for AMP?

At this time, DA customers are not eligible for AMP. These customers may be included in the future.

Are master metered customers eligible for AMP?

At this time, master metered customers are not eligible for AMP. These customers may be included in the future.

Can I participate in AMP if I receive service through a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA)?

Yes, customers who receive service through a CCA can participate in AMP.

What amount is eligible for debt forgiveness in AMP?

For customers who meet the above eligibility requirements, the amount eligible for the AMP is the total account past due balance as of the enrollment date not to exceed $8,000.

What amount is ineligible for debt forgiveness in AMP?

Any new bills issued on or after AMP enrollment are ineligible and will be the customer's responsibility.

NOTE: Customers who enroll in the AMP program are not eligible for installment plans.

Is there a cap or maximum amount eligible for AMP forgiveness?

The maximum eligible amount for AMP forgiveness per instance of customer enrollment is $8,000.

What if I owe more than $8,000 in arrears?

The maximum eligible amount for AMP forgiveness per instance of customer enrollment is $8,000.

How many payments are necessary to complete AMP?

12 on-time payments. Additionally, after 12 on-time payments are made, your entire past due amount is forgiven up to $8,000.

What happens if I miss a payment?

A payment that is not paid in full by the due date will be considered a missed payment. Customers that miss two sequential or three non-sequential payments will be removed from AMP.

What happens to my arrears if I am removed from AMP due to missed payments?

If you are removed from AMP before reaching 12 on-time payments, there will be no impact to the debt already forgiven. For example, if you made 6 on-time payments before being removed from AMP, you will still have half your total eligible arrears forgiven. However, you will be responsible for any remaining debt that has not been forgiven.

Can I sign up for AMP again after being removed from AMP?

If you are removed from AMP, you are eligible to sign up again after a 12-month waiting period, provided you still meet the eligibility requirements. The waiting period starts the month after you are dropped from the program.

Can I sign up for AMP again if I complete the 12 on-time payments in AMP?

If you successfully complete the program, you may enroll again after a 12-month waiting period, provided you still meet the eligibility requirements. The waiting period starts the month after you complete AMP.

What other options are available to me if I am removed from AMP and still have outstanding arrears?

Customers that exit AMP with arrears will be offered a 12-month payment plan.

I am already on a payment plan with SCE. What happens to the payment plan if I enroll in AMP?

The payment plan will be replaced by AMP and you will have your eligible unpaid debt forgiven by making 12 on-time payments of your current bill.

Can I request a Budget Billing Plan (BBP) while on AMP?

Yes, customers can request a BBP while on AMP.

What happens if I receive Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assistance while on AMP?

LIHEAP assistance will be applied to the monthly bills and not the balance of the arrears. Any remaining LIHEAP amount will be held and applied to future monthly bills.

What happens if I am approved to participate in the AMP program?

You will receive a welcome letter via USPS with your new Contract Account number, and program guidelines. If you wish to pay your bills online, please enroll your new account number on www.sce.com. Please use your new Contract Account number to pay your bills.

What happens if I am approved to participate in the AMP program and I receive a delayed bill?

Immediately contact SCE to advise the AMP department of your delayed statement. Please pay your most recent bill period amount by the due date to remain on the program.
