Electric co-op asks members to review unclaimed capital credits list

Flathead Electric Cooperative Trustees recently retired $3 million in capital credits allocated to members in 2008/2009.

These capital credits were largely returned to members as credits on Nov. 20 - Dec. 15 electric bills. Crediting bills saves cooperative members significant printing and postage costs and the extra step of depositing a check. 

 However, inactive members don’t typically receive a bill, so their capital credits are returned via mailed checks. Members are most often inactive because they have moved. If they haven’t updated their mailing address, sometimes their capital checks are undeliverable and go unclaimed.  

The full list of unclaimed capital credits is available on the co-op’s website at flatheadelectric.com/capital. Call the co-op at 406-751-4483 or 1-800-735-8489.
