*to qualify for the $350 grant once a year, you have to make under $65k/yr for a family of 4, be 30 days behind on your $50+ bill, but have paid at least $75 in the last three months on your bill, electric service termination has been threatened, NOT enrolled in the State of Ohio's Percentage of Income Payment Program (under $50k/yr for family of 4), and you MUST FIRST apply for HEAP, Winter Crisis Program or Summer Crisis Program...

So you have to make between 50k and 65k with two kids, and have ten hours free to jump through all of the hoops to get $350 once a year... There is no way 51,000 people are going to do this. Pure PR move as AEP reaps record profits ($3.58B in 2025 vs $2.2B in 2023)
