Flathead Electric Cooperative’s Board of Trustees recently authorized the retirement of nearly $3.7 million in capital credits to members who were active in 2009 and/or 2010, primarily through credits on their November/December electric bills. Bill credits save Cooperative members significant printing and postage costs, as well as the extra step of depositing a check.
However, inactive members typically do not receive a bill, so their capital credits are returned to them via mailed checks. Members are most often inactive because they have moved. If they haven’t updated their mailing address, their capital checks may be undeliverable and go unclaimed. This year, checks were mailed to inactive members who were active in 2009 and/or 2010 during the first week of December.
The complete list of unclaimed capital credits is available on the Co-op’s website at flatheadelectric.com/capital. If you know a former member who is on this list because they changed addresses, please ask them to call the Co-op at 406-751-4483 or 1-800-735-8489. The Co-op appreciates your assistance in this effort.
