Phone them. I think you have to apply for them to release your patronage amount. It can take a long while before you receive reimbursement, if I remember correctly.

Takes like a year and a half and you only get a certain amount every year.Or maybe they do it in December every year. But yes you have to apply for it and send a letter in.

For the past several years, WCG's board of directors has voted at their annual general meeting to pay out a portion/percentage of equity to members who have a minimum amount of equity accumulated in their account (I can't recall what that minimum is and it may change from year to year). Their annual general meeting is usually in early December and I haven't heard if there was a decision made at this year's AGM to make an equity pay out to qualifying members.  
 
In order to receive ALL the equity in your account you have to 1) pass away, 2) move out of WCG's service area, or 3) discontinue WCG service(s). In all three instances, payment of the equity in the account has to be applied for. In the first two instances, I believe the equity payout is made in a relatively timely manner however if you discontinue WCG service(s) but remain in the service area you may wait much longer to receive your payment.  
 
If you are curious as to exact payout rules and disbursements, call WCG and ask to speak to someone in Membership Services.

Think equity was the right name of it. I had gotten a check early Dec last yr for an amt because I reached over 900.00 in whatever its called.

Got an email from someone at Westman and its equity I was refering to and checks went out on Fri for this so should be in the mailbox soon.

Got ours today. Nothing to be excited about...just under $50 lol. We’ve been with them for like 15 years?

are the cheques that were just mailed out

I’m pretty sure it’s 900 dollars before you start getting a cheque. And they are automatically sent out.

Got mine Thursday.

Has anyone else not gotten theirs yet ?  
 
I'll give it another week before calling westman, I figure maybe they send them out in blocks alphabetically by name or something, just curious though if others hadn't received it yet

I got my cheque on Dec 16th... it was $98
