- Submitting a form does not guarantee a disbursement will be made.
- Proper documentation and valid proof of membership during the applicable time period is required.
Refund Request Forms must be received by United Power by April 30, 2025.
After United Power receives your completed Unclaimed Retired Capital Credit Refund Request form, it may take up to eight weeks for us to research and process your claim. If your claim is accepted, you will receive a capital credit check. If your claim is denied, you will receive a letter explaining why the claim is not being accepted.
No refund checks will be issued for unclaimed retirement amounts below $5. Unclaimed retired capital credit refunds can be donated to the United Power Round Up Foundation, which provides assistance to community organizations within the cooperative's service territory.
After the notification period closes on April 30, 2025, all unclaimed retired capital credits for the applicable time period will be considered an assignment and contribution of capital to United Power.
United Power’s bylaws outline the procedure for notifying customers. United Power’s bylaws can be found here. Once these requirements have been met the unclaimed capital credits will revert to the cooperative and the outstanding capital credit account will be considered closed.
