Help Us Find These Former Members

Dividends paid

In May, the Board of Directors of East-Central Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative approved the retirement of $565,018 in patronage to its members. This year’s retirement will return money to 6,980 current and former members. Over the past 10 years, ECI REC has returned $5,498,092 to its membership through patronage dividends.

These margins were credited to current members on their June bills. Former members were sent checks, and the 90-day window to cash these checks has now passed. The people listed here have uncashed checks, and their dividends will be forfeited to the Cooperative if they are not claimed within one year.

If you know someone listed below, please contact that person, or their next of kin, and ask them to contact our office. ECI REC will require personal identification and/or legal documentation from these people to confirm their membership before dividends can be claimed. Please do not contact ECI REC unless you have the necessary documentation for the member listed. This list was current at the time of this printing.
