RGEC Allows Deferred Payments For Government Employees Affected By Government Shutdown

Rio Grande Electric Co-op CEO Roger Andrade announced today that Rio Grande Electric Cooperative (RGEC) will allow government employees, whose paychecks are suspended during the current government shutdown, to defer payment of up to two (2) Rio Grande Electric Co-op bills, until such time as governmental pay resumes, or March 21, whichever comes first. Those wanting to request this delayed payment option, must apply prior to a bill becoming in arrears, by contacting their local RGEC office, completing a short promissory form, and providing a government paystub as evidence of need. No interest or penalty will accrue, as long as the terms of the delayed payment agreement are met.
