Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP) Program – helps income-eligible Ohioans manage their energy bills year-round. The program allows income-eligible Ohioans to pay their energy bill each month based on a percentage of their income. To be eligible for the program, a client must have a total household income at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) and must apply for all Ohio Development Services Agency (Development) Energy Assistance Programs for which he or she is eligible. A client’s PIPP payment will be set at 10% of the last 30 days of household income for households that heat with electric and 5% for households with a different main heating source.
