How do I register?

In order to access your account information using Online Account Management, it is necessary to set up a user ID and password. On the Online Account Management Log In screen, click on the “To Register, click here” link. You will then be asked a series of questions in order to register.

Why must I enter my Social Security number or employer identification number? 

It’s important to secure your account information; therefore, the first time you register your account, we  ask for your SSN or EIN (if they exist on your account) in order to positively identify that you are authorized to access your account through Web Self-Service. If you prefer not to provide that information, or currently don’t have these identifiers on your account, you may contact us at 448-4800 for instructions on how to complete your registration.
