Vulnerable Customer Status

Support for those put at risk by disconnection

Program overview

If your health or safety would be at risk if your electric or gas service were disconnected, we’re here to help. You can receive support by self-certifying for Vulnerable Customer Status. This may include:

 

  • Additional Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) notifications
  • Doorbell rings or a doorhanger from PG&E if you do not respond to previous PSPS notifications

How to apply
