If the customer calls for assistance, they will then be informed of the different kind of bill payment options and assistance programs that are currently provided by their Texas electric company. These kind of programs might include bill payment assistance, deferred payment options, disconnection moratoriums for the ill or low-income energy assistance programs. Every REP is required to provide a yearly report on June 1st to the commission summarizing the amount of customer donations, the amount of money set aside for bill payment assistance, and the assisting agency or agencies selected to disburse funds to resident customers and the amount of money disbursed. This is PUC Regulation #25.480.
