Can I apply on behalf of a senior citizen or disabled person if that person is incapable of applying on his own?
Yes. You may apply on behalf of a disabled person, but only if that person is legally responsible for the utility bills. Legal responsibility for an account is established by the name of the eligible individual appearing on the utility bill. The senior citizen, disabled person, or his agent with power of attorney must sign the rebate application. If an agent signs the application, an appropriate power of attorney document must be submitted with the application.
