Clean Slate Gas Program

Ameren Missouri created the Clean Slate Program to help eligible gas customers clear their past-due balances and start fresh. We recognize there are families struggling and in need of assistance who don't qualify for many of the existing federal and state assistance programs.

To be eligible for Clean Slate, gas customers must meet the following requirements:

  • Have an active Ameren Missouri gas account that is past due, including those on payment agreements, or reconnecting an account
  • Pay 10% of the past-due balance
  • Experiencing financial hardship 
  • Household income up to 300% of the federal poverty level
    • Income eligibility determined by the agency — not Ameren Missouri
    • Example: Households making up to $90,000 for a family of four are eligible to apply
