In December, the Flathead Electric Cooperative will issue approximately 36,000 checks worth around $2.4 million to people who were members during the year 2006. People who were members during 2016 will get allocation notices that tell them how much money they have credited to their account.

Annual allocations are added to each member’s account for the duration of their tenure. When the money is available, the cooperative cuts checks for past years to members or ex-members who were part of the company during the year they are cutting the check for.

Checks and allocation notices will be delivered by mail. For questions about capital credits or other inquiries, call (406) 751-4483 or visit flatheadelectric.com. Members in Libby can call (406) 293-7122 or toll free at 1-800-735-8489.
