Do we owe you money?

Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative is attempting to locate the following people (or their heirs) who may have unclaimed capital credits. Patronage capital refund checks were mailed in 2022 to the following people listed, but the checks were returned to LMRE as undeliverable or were never cashed.

Names published here are appearing on the unclaimed capital credits list for the first time. The complete list of current and former members who have unclaimed capital credits with the cooperative is posted on the cooperative’s website, www.lmre.org/capital-credits-unclaimed-funds-list

The cooperative is aware that many of the former members listed may be deceased. However, we are looking for surviving family members who are eligible to receive the capital credits checks. Due to federal privacy regulations known as “red flag rules,” the cooperative can only provide account information to the member, surviving spouse, or a legally documented fiduciary (executor or trustee).

If you meet these criteria, please complete the application form below and forward it to our o ce with your letter of authority and a copy of the death certificate.

Due to federal “red flag rules” that protect against identity theft, heirs must submit a photocopy of the member’s death certificate along with a letter of authority to show they are the person authorized to receive the funds from the capital credits account. Please note a power of attorney agreement is not acceptable because it is void upon death. If there is no individual qualified to act on behalf of the member, please advise in writing. Once Lorain-Medina Rural Electric has received the information, the cooperative will forward the application for completion. Send information to:

Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative Attn: Capital Credits, P.O. Box 158 Wellington, OH 44090
