Match My Payment Program

More than $25 million matched by PG&E this year

Match My Payment is on hold for 2026 and is not accepting new applications. Check back for updates.

In 2026, PG&E committed an additional $50 million to extend bill assistance programs, including PG&E REACH and Match My Payment. In 2025, these PG&E programs helped nearly 64,000 customers manage past-due energy bills.

 

PG&E created the Match My Payment Program to support low‑ and moderate‑income households with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level. The program matched customer payments dollar for dollar toward past‑due energy bills and helped customers avoid service disconnections.

 

As of September 2026, PG&E matched more than $25 million in customer payments through the Match My Payment Program.

 

Many eligible customers received multiple matches throughout the year, up to a total maximum benefit amount of $1,000.

 

Other important information:

  • Matching payments are subject to funding availability.
  • PG&E establishes all Match My Payment Program guidelines. PG&E contracts with Dollar Energy Fund to accept and process assistance requests for the program.
  • Check your Match My Payment application status, approval details, and award amounts at MyStatus 2026 - Dollar Energy Fund, Inc.

Program benefits and requirements may change. Assistance is available while funding lasts.
