Income-qualified rebates

Households that meet income limits can get higher rebate amounts. Some rebates are only available to income-qualified applicants.

Two income tiers

The program has 2 income tiers. Your tier determines how much you qualify for.

Moderate-income

Households earning 120% or less of Alameda County's Area Median Income (AMI).

Low-income

Households that qualify for California's CARE or FERA discounted utility rate programs.

Income limits

FPG = Federal Poverty Guidelines. AMI = Area Median Income.
