Waiver of Dues for 2008  Dues Waiver Form
As authorized by Article X of the bylaws, waiver of dues is allowed for the amount in excess of 10 percent of base FSA or ASA dues under one or more of the following conditions:
- Entitlement to U.S. Social Security disability benefits or equivalent.
- Attainment of age 55 and retirement to the point of current year's income (excluding retirement pay, Social Security or equivalent benefits and investment income) not exceeding the income limit described below.
- Attainment of age 70.
- Active duty in the uniformed forces of the United States or Canada or equivalent.
- Full–time student at a recognized university or institution of higher learning.
- Active service in the Peace Corps or CUSO (Canadian Organization which Supports Alliance for Social Justice).
- Leave from paid employment or self–employment to raise children. A waiver will be granted when the current year's income will not exceed the income limit described below.
- Unemployment or self–employment and the current year's income will not exceed the income limit described below.
- Special circumstances which in the judgment of the Admissions Committee warrant waiver of dues, and the current year's income will not exceed the income limit described below.
The income limit for this policy is defined as 80 percent of the U.S. per capita (rounded to the nearest thousand) per annum. Income included is for current services from employment (including severance) and self–employment sources. The 2008 income limit is $29,000.
Other than a waiver for attainment of age 70, a request for waiver should include appropriate proof of status. Eligibility for waiver will be determined and processed by the Admissions Committee. Disability and age 55 and retired waiver requests need only be submitted once; all other waiver requests are annual waivers. Please allow four–to–six weeks for waiver approval. All waivers are based on status as of January 1, the date dues are payable. Waiver applications are due by April 30.
Section memberships are not included in the waiver.
