Arrearage Management Plan (AMP) Program
Arrearage Management Plan (AMP) Program
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 about the Arrearage Management Plan (AMP) Program can be found in our Help Center FAQs*.
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).
Who qualifies for AMP?
You may qualify for AMP if you:
- Are enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program.
- Have been an SCE customer for at least six months.
- Have a past-due bill amount of more than $500 (some of which has been past due for more than 90 days).
- Have made at least one on-time payment in the past 24 months.
- Agree to pay all your monthly SCE bills on time for the next 12 months.
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.
What happens if you enroll in AMP but miss payments?
After your AMP enrollment is complete, if you miss two consecutive payments or three non-consecutive payments, we will remove your account from program participation.
It’s easy to get started.
- Complete this online application form. Enter your Service Account Number – it starts with the number “8” and is located on the upper left side of your SCE bill, under the SCE logo.
- Agree to the Terms and Conditions. After completing your application, check the “I Agree” box at the bottom of the page to agree to pay your next twelve monthly bills on time.
- Make on-time payments. After you receive our letter in the mail showing your application is approved, be sure to make your current monthly payment before the due date and continue paying in full and on time every month. We will forgive 1/12 of your total past-due amount, up to $8,000.
