5.2.3 NON-PARTICIPATING PROVIDER DENIAL Michigan law prevents electric companies, who have opted out of collecting the funding factor for MEAP, from disconnecting electric service to their customers between November 1st and April 15th. Deny requests for direct energy payment assistance between November 1st and March 31st if the service provider is a non-participating electric service provider for the current fiscal year. Direct payment assistance for qualifying low-income households whose service provider opted out of collecting the MEAP surcharge resumes on April 1st.
