DUES
Dues are deducted in 20 equal amounts of $38.98. The preferred method is eDues-Bank ACH with deductions on or around the following dates: 08/29/2025, 09/12/2025, 09/26/2025, 10/10/2025, 10/24/2025, 11/07/2025, 11/21/2025, 12/05/2025, 12/17/2025, 12/19/2025, 01/16/2026, 01/30/2026, 02/13/2026, 02/27/2026, 03/13/2026, 03/27/2026, 04/10/2026, 04/24/2026, 05/08/2026, 05/22/2026
The deduction process begins the day prior to the schedule above. You will receive an email stating the process has begun. However, monies are withdrawn on the dates listed above, which match paydays. In December, before winter break, there are two paydays, resulting in two deductions.
When joining during the school year, dues will begin no sooner than 5 days following the join date. The new member is only responsible for the dues remaining for that school year, not for dues collected before the join date.
It is essential to note that one must be a member before any incident to be eligible for union assistance for that incident. To be considered a member, the eDues-ACH process must be complete or other payment arrangements (cash/check) have been made and received at the United Office.
Cash Option
If you choose not to sign up for the ACH option, you are welcome to pay by check/money order. However, we do not take payments bi-weekly with this method. The options are; yearly, twice a year, or every quarter. Payments can be made to MEA or Marion Education Association.
