"How are Capital Credits allocated?"

All coops are required to allocate margins to their members. This allows coops like us to maintain our not-for-profit, tax-exempt status. The catch is that capital credits need only be retired if the coop's board of directors deem the coop is financially sound enough to do so. I am happy to say that this is a loophole your board of directors doesn't have to use. Since 1980, our board has always determined that WREC was financially sound enough to retire capital credit funds.
