• Smiley’s Express- 21925 HWY 90 North, Bedias
Not only is the kiosk convenient, it is also user-friendly. Some of the features are presented in both English and Spanish. There is an option to print your receipt, and payments are immediately credited to the account. The kiosks may look like ATMs; however, they do not provide change or accept coins. Any payments made exceeding the member’s balance will be credited to the account.

Budget Billing is a payment plan that lets you level your payments throughout the year so that you do not have to deal with the high’s and low’s in your bill amount that result from seasonal usage variations. You can enroll for Budget Billing if –
• You’ve been a member of MidSouth Electric Co-op for at least 12 months
• You have a good pay history with no late payments in the previous 12 months
How it Works
Based on your previous 12-month usage history, plus anticipated energy costs and other factors, we estimate your energy usage for the year ahead. We then divide the total by 12 to arrive at your monthly Budget Billing payment amount.
Payment Adjustment
Your Budget Billing payment amount is reviewed every October and could be adjusted up or down, depending on the cost of your actual usage.
To find out if you are eligible for budget billing, call us at 936-825-5100.

MidSouth Electric Co-op operates with four billing cycles per month. This enables us to be flexible in meeting your budget needs. The following table helps you better understand the four billing cycles.
Match the due date on your current bill with the dates in the table to determine your current billing cycle. If you wish to change your billing cycle, click here.
Billing cycle changes will be made on the 1st of every month and hence will be effective on your next bill.
Operation Round-Up & Financial Assistance
As a voluntary contributor to Operation Round Up, you choose to have your monthly electric bill rounded up to the next highest dollar amount. The difference between your actual bill and the next highest dollar is the amount of your donation.
For example:
If your monthly electric bill is: $83.55
Your bill will be round up to: $84
Your Operation Round Up donation: 45 cents
Your monthly contribution could be as little as a penny, but never more than ninety-nine cents. The average Operation Round Up contribution is just fifty cents per month or $6 per year — but that small amount makes a huge difference in the lives that it touches.
MidSouth Charitable Foundation makes donations to local organizations that assist the community through utility and other crisis assistance quarterly throughout the year utilizing funds collected through the Operation Round Up program. If you contribute to Operation Round Up, your donation appears on your electric bill. If you have opted out of Operation Round Up, you will not see this item on your bill.
If you or someone you know needs utility assistance, please reach out to memberservices@mselectric.com or click here to receive a list of financial assistance organizations in your area.
