The processing of sub- metered (DMS) tenant CARE/FERA applications via SCE.com 2. New enrollment channel--the processing of CARE/FERA applications through the VRU/IVR 3. New IVR notification calls for program Verifications 4. New IVR notifications for program Recertifications, with the ability to link directly to SCE’s IVR system to complete recertifications. Implemented changes to support the new 2-year renewal process for sub-metered tenants Implemented an IVR for enrollment and recertification Implemented improvements to the invoicing process for Capitation contractors Created a system to track Internet enrollment campaigns Implemented a Queue for applications that cannot be processed right away due to billing issues Implemented an automatic update to the CARE status for customers who provide income information during the enrollment process Motivated our Capitation Contractors to use the online enrollment process and request that customers provide their SDG&E bill to determine if they are already on CARE prior to taking an application. Both of these efforts is in an attempt to streamline the paper process and to also provide better efficiency with our agents. New renewal process for sub- metered tenants.
