Simplifying Bill Payment for Jefferson Energy Cooperative Members

Paying your electric bill should be simple, fast, and convenient. That’s why Jefferson Energy Cooperative offers multiple options for members to pay their bills online, over the phone, by mail, or in person. With a variety of choices, you can choose the payment method that works best for you and your budget.

Online Bill Pay Made Easy

The fastest and most convenient way to pay your Jefferson Energy Cooperative electric bill is online through the billing and account portal All you need to do is visit https //wwwjec,coop/ and log into your account,

Once logged in, you’ll see your current bill amount along with any past due balance. You can easily pay the full amount or make a partial payment if needed. The online payment portal accepts Visa, MasterCard Discover American Express, and debit cards. You’ll get confirmation that your payment was received as soon as you submit it.

I love the convenience of being able to pay my bill from home in just a few clicks. It saves me from having to drive to the office or sit on hold waiting to talk to someone. The whole process takes less than a minute, so I can check bill payment off my to-do list quickly.

Another benefit of paying online is that you can set up recurring payments. This way, you don’t have to remember to log in and pay each month. Your payment will be made automatically on the due date, giving you some peace of mind.

Paying by Phone

If you prefer to speak to a live person when making your electric bill payment, Jefferson Energy Cooperative has you covered. You can call 1-800-545-5735 and talk to a customer service representative who will take your payment over the phone.

When you call, just have your account number, name on the account, and payment info ready. The representative will walk you through the rest. You can pay using a checking account, credit card, or debit card. Just like with online payments, you’ll receive instant confirmation letting you know your payment was processed.

Many people, including myself, appreciate the human interaction of paying a bill over the phone. The representatives are always friendly and willing to answer any other questions you may have about your account. It’s a straightforward way to make sure your bill gets paid on time.

Mailing In Your Payment

For members who don’t have internet access or prefer not to pay bills online or over the phone, sending a check or money order is always an option. Jefferson Energy Cooperative has a payment center where you can mail your bill payment to:

Jefferson Energy Cooperative
Payment Processing Center
P.O. Box 4970
Waco, TX 76702

To avoid any late fees, make sure to mail your payment several days before the due date to allow time for delivery and processing. Write your account number clearly on the check or money order so your payment is properly credited.

While not as fast as electronic payments, mailing your payment is reliable. The payment center processes mailed payments each business day, so your bill will be paid well before the due date.

Paying in Person

Jefferson Energy Cooperative has local member service centers located throughout the areas they serve where you can pay your electric bill in person. Visit the Jefferson Energy website for locations and office hours near you.

When paying your bill at a member service center, you can pay using cash, check, money order, or credit/debit card. Make sure to have your account number or billing statement with you. The representative at the service center can print you a receipt immediately showing that your payment was received.

Many members appreciate being able to pay bills in person. You get that face-to-face interaction and walk away knowing for sure that your payment was processed correctly. It gives you confidence that your account is in good standing.

Payment Arrangements and Assistance Programs

I know some months can be tougher than others financially. If you’re ever unable to pay your full electric bill on time, Jefferson Energy Cooperative has programs in place to help.

You can set up a payment plan that allows you to pay your past due balance in installments over time. This helps you get caught up without falling further behind. Payment plans can be arranged by calling customer service or visiting a member service center.

In addition, Jefferson Energy partners with local community action programs to provide bill payment assistance for eligible members. If you’re struggling with medical bills, unemployment, or other hardships, you may qualify for a one-time payment on your electric account through these assistance agencies. Check the cooperative’s website for more details on how to apply.

The bottom line is that Jefferson Energy Cooperative will work with you so that you can manage your electric bill. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them if you need help.
