| Medical Certification: |
A medical certificate can delay a shutoff if it would be dangerous to the health of a permanent member of your household or if you’re in the hospital for an extended time. While the certification does not reduce the amount owed on your gas bill, it does allow you 30 days to make payment arrangements or to get financial help, and may be renewed for up to two more 30-day periods. The condition shall be certified to the company by a licensed physician, physician assistant, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse practitioner, certified nurse-midwife, or local board of health physician. If you qualify, you should still attempt to pay on your account to avoid a large balance due when the certificate expires.
