7 . Must consider all other available government-funded sources for electric service <br /> payment assistance first , unless the applicant is in imminent danger of losing <br /> electricity ( service disconnect ) , and time does not allow the client to apply for <br /> government funds . In addition , FPL recognizes that government funds may not be <br /> available at the time due to limited resources . If that' s the case , the caseworker <br /> should record the circumstances in the client' s file . But if time does permit and <br /> government funds are available , then C2S should be considered only after the <br /> government funds for which the applicant qualifies have been applied for or <br /> committed . <br /> 8 .
