Energy Assistance Fund Terms & Conditions

By enrolling in the EAF Customer Donation Program, the Participant agrees to the following Terms and Conditions.

Participant must be the customer of record for the SCE customer account, or duly authorized to act on behalf of, and with the express consent of, the customer of record; with at least one active standard energy service account.
The following types of accounts are not eligible to participate in the EAF Customer Donation program: (i) Cash Only: SCE customer accounts which require payments to be made via cash only; (ii) Bankruptcy Accounts: SCE customer accounts under bankruptcy protection.
SCE reserves the unqualified right to accept or decline, in SCE’s sole discretion, an application to enroll in the EAF Customer Donation Program.
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the donation amount is added to and collected through Participant’s SCE bill.
Participant has the option of providing one-time donations, which are added to one bill statement only, or monthly donations, which are added to each monthly bill statement during the twelve (12) month period after enrollment.
Participant must contribute a fixed-dollar amount (i.e. $1.00). SCE will attempt to verify donations for $100 or more by calling the customer using the last known phone number available to SCE to verify the donation amount following enrollment.
Changes to program enrollment (i.e. change in donation amounts) will be reflected in the following month's bill. Participants may change the selected option only once during each billing cycle.
Participant acknowledges that donated amounts collected through the EAF program are administered by United Way of Greater Los Angeles (UWGLA), and Participant has no right to direct in any manner how funds are applied.
Participant acknowledges that once funds are collected and remitted to UWGLA, Participant has no right to withdraw the funds or to request a refund.
Participants can enroll in the EAF Program by calling SCE’s phone center at 1-800-205-8596, or through the web at www.sce.com/eaf at any time. Program enrollment is also available through the back of the SCE paper bill starting in December 2009.
Verification of enrollment in the EAF Customer Donation program will be provided as a bill message on the Participant’s next bill following enrollment.
SCE will endeavor to update account balance and activity information daily. However, SCE shall not be liable for any delay in updating or failure to update any information, for whatever reason.
Uncollected EAF donations will not be assessed any penalties, are non-disconnectable charges, and will not be assessed late payment charges or other fees. However, it is Participant’s sole responsibility to pay his or her SCE bill(s) on time to avoid other late fees, collection activity or disconnection of electric service.
Each January, a separate bill message will be included in Participant’s billing statements summarizing the total EAF donations collected during the previous year. UWGLA will also submit an acknowledgment letter to Participants each January that donated $250 or more to EAF during the prior calendar year.
The minimum amount of contribution that a Participant may contribute for EAF is .01 per month.
Participants may choose to cancel enrollment in the EAF Program at any time with no penalty. To discontinue enrollment through the Web, select “Stop Donation” from the EAF Enrollment screen. Participants may also mail a cancellation notice to the address shown below under “Notices to SCE.” Generally, such termination will be effective within ten (10) days of SCE’s receipt of the request.
Uncollected EAF donations over three (3) consecutive months may result in SCE terminating Participant’s participation in the EAF program.
Participants should direct all e-mail correspondence to the following address:
