Federated Rural Electric requests that former members keep us up-to-date with their current address. If we attempt to send you a capital credit check and it is returned by the post office due to an outdated address, we must follow state laws for the unclaimed property. We will publish the information on our website in an attempt to find the rightful owner of the money.
We continue to publish and carry unclaimed capital credits amounts on our books for up to seven years. If after the required time, we still have not located you, the law requires us to either turn the money over to the state or donate it to a charitable organization.
Our current policy, as set by the Board of Directors, is to donate all unclaimed capital credits money to the Federated Rural Electric Trust for distribution as student scholarships and for charitable causes approved by the Trust Board.
Annually we print our most recent unclaimed capital credit retirements in Connections. The listing for the past seven years is now available at the link below.
Check if someone you know is on the list. If you recognize a name, please have that individual reach out to us at ziemer@federatedrea.coop or call us at 507-847-3520 or 800-321-3520, extension 2233.
