Winter Moratorium

JCREMC will not disconnect residential electric service between December 1 and March 15 for any customer who is eligible for and has applied for assistance under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), administered by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) under IC 4-4-33.

Summer Moratorium

JCREMC will not disconnect residential electric service on any day for which the National Weather Service has forecast, within the preceding 48 hours, a heat index of at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the customer’s service area, for any customer who is eligible for and has applied for LIHEAP assistance under IC 4-4-33 during the current calendar year. If a cooperative has issued a notice of disconnection to an eligible customer and the disconnection day falls on a day that meets or exceeds the heat index threshold, the disconnection must be tolled until the first day on which the heat index threshold is not forecasted to reach 95°F.
