Member Assistance

Sometimes people need a helping hand. For those who qualify, special utility assistance programs are available. Thousands of dollars have been designated for distribution across our URECC service area. Below is a list of local providers. Please contact them directly to determine if you are eligible for help with your electric bill.

Senior Citizens

Are you 65 or older? At URECC, if you are age 65+ and have no outstanding balance with us—or any utility for the same service—within the past two years, no deposit is required for new or existing accounts.
📞 Call Member Services at 903-843-2536 to learn more.
