Military Protection

Minnesota Statute 325E.028 Utility Payment Arrangement for Military Service Personnel provides protection against utility disconnection if a member of your household has been ordered into active military duty, for deployment, or for a permanent change in duty station during the period of active duty.

To be considered for military service personnel protection, you must meet requirements as outlined in the statute and enter a payment arrangement plan with RPU. The requirements include:

• Your household income is below the state median income, enter a payment arrangement that includes ten percent of your household’s gross monthly income toward your RPU bill.
• If your household income is above the State’s median income level, enter a reasonable payment arrangement that considers your financial resources and remain current with your payments.
• If you receive energy assistance, enter a payment arrangement that includes ten percent of your household’s gross monthly income toward your RPU bill.
