Additional baseline allowance is available to people with special medical needs. This includes people on life support or those that have multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, are paraplegic, quadriplegic or hemiplegic, or are being treated for a life-threatening illness or have a compromised immune system.
To receive this additional allowance, a doctor’s certification is required on the application. Household income is not a factor for qualifying. To see if you qualify, review our medical baseline application.
SDG&E has two residential assistance programs that provide a discount on energy use, CARE and FERA. Both programs are based on total household income and household size.
