Membership Service Fee Remittance Improvements

Each week every unit who registered members that week will be emailed a remittance form with the following information:
                    List of members registered that week, showing ID# and name
                    Total number of members registered that week
                    Fees due for state and national dues
                    Remittance information – where to send payment (state office)
                    Instruction to print and mail a copy with the payment
                    Note: council fees are discussed below
New this year – All PTA units (both council units and non-council local units) will send payment for state and national service fees directly to the state office. (This is a change for council units, who will no longer will be sending WSPTA and National PTA service fees to their council.) The purpose of this change is to free-up council resources so they can focus their attention on programs and services to member-units, rather than spending so much time doing administrative tasks for the WSPTA.
The deadlines for submitting state and National PTA service fees to the state PTA office remain the same (by October 25, January 25 and May 25, depending on the date members were entered into the database.)
For those units who belong to a council, they will be emailed a separate remittance form for council fees for members registered that week to be sent to their council. This will be done only if council fees are a straight dollar amount per membership, though all councils will receive a member registration summary as described below. This remittance form will include the following:
                    List of members registered that week, showing ID# and name
                    Total number of members registered that week
                    Council fees due for members registered that week
                    Remittance information – where to send payment (council address)
                    Instruction to print and mail a copy with the payment
All councils will receive a weekly email showing the name of each local unit in their council who entered members that week and the number of memberships entered.
If you have any questions about any of the new processes (membership enrollment or membership service fee remittance), please call the Washington State PTA office at (253) 565-2153 or 1-800-562-3804.
