Why is it that some UEC members do not get rebate checks? Is it only for homeowners? Do people who have a UEC account and rent a home receive these rebate checks for appropriate years?

All UEC members, including both renters and homeowners, earn capital credits based on their electric usage. These credits are allocated over time and returned to members on a cycle over 12 years.  UEC strives to return a portion of member credits sooner than 12 years, yet the payout cycle could be adjusted based on the financial strength of the cooperate.

A member’s capital credits are funded if the amount exceeds a $10 threshold. If a member does not receive a check in a given year, it is usually because their accumulated credits have not yet reached the minimum amount for a payment, or no credits were earned for the payout cycle.
