Disconnection Prohibitions

Winter Moratorium (December 1 – March 15)

Marshall County REMC may not disconnect residential electric service between December 1 and March 15 if the customer has applied for, or is receiving, heating assistance from the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) administered by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) and local community action agencies. The customer must have applied for or be receiving such assistance to qualify for the moratorium protection.

Heat Index-based Summer Disconnection Prohibition

Marshall County REMC may not disconnect residential electric service for any customer who is eligible for and has applied for LIHEAP assistance in the current calendar year on any day when the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a forecast indicating the heat index at the customer’s service address will reach or exceed 95°F within the next 48 hours.

If a cooperative has issued a notice of disconnection to an eligible customer and the disconnection day falls on a day that meets or exceeds the heat index threshold, the disconnection must be tolled until the first day on which the heat index threshold is not forecasted to reach 95°F.
