Dues Information
Annual Dues Collection Process
It is the
responsibility of all Auxiliarists to meet their financial obligations (i.e.,
payment of dues) in accordance with regional and local provisions and
timelines. Failure to do so shall result in disenrollment. The annual amount
currently for District and National dues is $39.00. Division and Flotilla dues are determined
individually and added to the current District and National amount to determine
the total amount due by each member.
The Standing
Rules, in the Finance Section, will show when the dues collection process can
begin, usually August or September. The FSO-FN notifies all members that dues
for the upcoming year are due. FSO-FNs can use whatever method they desire
as long as they can account for all members receiving the word. However, if the
first round of notifications is not successful in attaining the amount due,
using various other methods of contact should be utilized and documented (i.e.,
direct mail, email, telephone calls, registered mail (if felt necessary).
The 9,
10, 11 & 12 Program is a simple process to follow as a guide for
on-time completion of dues collection. It is:
9 =
September - During the first part of September (at the latest because some
flotillas per their Standing Rules collect dues earlier), the FSO-FN notifies
all members that dues for the following year are due to be paid in fourth
quarter.
10 =
October - The flotilla begins collection all dues from membership
11 =
November - On 1 November for all members who had not paid their dues,
the Flotilla Commander will complete Section I of the ANSC 7035 (Change in
Membership Status Form), sign, make a copy and mail the copy via USPS
officially notifying the member they have a financial obligation to the Auxiliary.
It is also recommended flotilla commander call the member to be sure there are
no misunderstandings. We don’t want them to think they are being threatened
dis-enrollment.
12 -
December – On or before 1 December for all members who had not
paid dues, the ANSC 7035 is processed and sent to the DSO-HR who
in-turn endorses and sends on to DIRAUX for processing.
The
payment of dues and donations of money or property to the Auxiliary are tax
deductible.
Retired
members will no longer pay dues.
NEW
MEMBERS
First year dues for new members shall be prorated as determined
by District policy and shall be
submitted with the enrollment application. Initial payment shall be by check
which will be immediately cashed.
Dues
for new member applications are as follows:
·
1st quarter (Jan-Mar), 75% of
total $39 or $29.25.
·
2nd quarter (Apr-Jun), 50% of
total $39 or $19.50.
·
3rd quarter (Jul-Sep), 25% of
total $39 or $9.75.
·
4th quarter (Oct-Dec), 0% sent to
District but full $39 should be collected and held to be paid with the rest of
the flotilla at annual dues billing time at the first of the upcoming year.
New
Application Dues Check Process.
A
check for the appropriate amount, based on the proration chart, should
accompany each enrollment application. The process should be:
·
The check should be written to the FLOTILLA –
for the full proper amount for National, District, Division, and Flotilla and
given to the FSO-FN for deposit into flotilla account.
·
The FSO-FN then will write a check to CGA 8Th
Western Rivers for the amount due for the National and District to be attached
to the enrolment application before sending to DSO-HR for review.
·
The FSO-FN should also issue a check the
Division SO-FN. The flotilla will keep the remainder for their account.
Prospective
Auxiliarists must be clearly advised during their enrollment process of PSI
requirements and durations, as well as the privileges of enrollment that they
will have in any membership status (i.e., AP, IQ, BQ, AX). Such advisory must
include the risk they undertake in terms of personal investments as part of
Auxiliary membership (e.g, the costs of membership dues, uniform items, and
possible equipment purchases that will not be reimbursed if
their PSI is ultimately determined to be UNFAV and they are not determined to
be suitable for service in the Auxiliary)."
