Recertify

"Organizations are required to recertify every two years by completing a new application and attaching proof of tax-exempt status and a statement of how the discount was used in the previous year to directly benefit facility residents.  Three months before your discount expires, your organization will receive a letter and recertification application from PG&E giving you the opportunity to reapply if your organization still qualifies under the {current program guidelines}.

To request a re-certification application mailed to you, please call the CARE program at 1-866-743-2273 or e-mail CAREandFERA@pge.com.
