Is your annual household income for one person as low as $30,500? Then you may be eligible for a 20% discount on your natural gas bill through the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program.  I applied for my elderly mother who has savings but whose main income is Social Security payments, and I was surprised by how easy the process was.  I applied online within minutes, no documentation was required and the 20% discount was reflected on mom’s next utility bill. If you have 2 people in the household, an annual income of $35,800 is the minimum requirement, $43,200 for 3 people, $50,600 for 4, etc.  Or if you or anyone in your household is receiving Med-Cal, WIC, Food Stamps or Supplemental Social Security Income, you’re eligible.  http://www.socalgas.com/residential/assistance/care/
