Beginning July 18, customers will be able to apply for assistance through the temporary Atlantic City Customer Relief Fund, a fund administered by SHARES that will provide eligible Atlantic City Electric customers relief in the form of up to $300.


Eligibility

Atlantic City Electric’s Customer Relief Fund is available for qualified residential customers in the Atlantic City Electric service area. To be eligible to participate in the fund, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Active Residential customer

  • 60+ days past due

  • Carry a balance of at least $250

  • Household that is either limited income or moderate income

Please note: If a customer’s past-due balance exceeds the eligible credit amount and their service has been disconnected and finalized, they are not eligible for the Customer Relief Fund. If the eligible credit covers at least 75% of the balance due, and the customer can make payment on the previous account to reconnect service, they will be considered eligible for the Customer Relief Fund.
