Pursuant the Maryland code, Public Utilities §7–306.2 (f)(iv), a subscriber organization or subscription coordinator may verify the income of a prospective subscriber for eligibility as a Low-Income subscriber under the Maryland Community Solar Program through several methods including self–attestation.
“Low-Income” means: (i) having an annual household income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level; or (ii) being certified as eligible for any federal, State, or local assistance program that limits participation to households whose income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.
This Self Attestation of Low-Income Subscriber Status Form (“Self-Attestation Form”) is used as a means for verification if you are seeking to qualify to participate in the Community Solar Program as a Low-Income Subscriber.
INSTRUCTIONS: This Self-Attestation Form is to be completed, signed, and dated by a member of the applying household. It is a written statement documenting an applicant’s affirmation that the gross annual income for the applicant’s entire household qualifies as meeting the definition of a Low-Income (LI) subscriber.
Applicants may attest to their status as a Low-Income Subscriber by either reporting their household income or confirming participation in one of the Low-Income Qualifying programs listed at the end of this document. If you choose to report your household income, please refer to the income limits specified at the end of this document.
