If you call your co-op without having your account number handy, the CEC account representative will ask you to provide your date of birth, mailing address, and telephone number in order to access your account. Next, the representative will ask if you are the actual account holder or are listed as an authorized person on the account. If not, the account representative will be unable to discuss any details of the account.


While these questions can feel like an inconvenience, they serve an important purpose by protecting your account information from identity thieves. To provide an additional layer of protection, Choctaw Electric encourages every co-op member to establish security questions and a password for their co-op account.


To set up the security questions and account password, please visit your nearest CEC office and ask for an account verification form. (You will be required to show a photo I.D.) Or call your co-op at 800-780-6486 and request that a form be mailed to you.


It’s worth mentioning that when you fill out the account security form, you will need to provide your account number. Be sure to locate a copy of your electric bill so you can include the important information on the form.


SEND US EMAIL: Please email questions for Ask Your Co-op to: Jennifer Boling, jboling@choctawelectric.coop. Or, mail questions to Choctaw Electric Cooperative, PO Box 758, Hwy 93 North, Hugo,Oklahoma 74743.
