FAQ: Member Dues / AutoPay / EFT
Do you have a question about your union dues—whether it’s how to pay, updating your payment information, or making changes to your account? This FAQ page gives you direct answers to our most commonly asked questions.
How can I pay my IEA membership dues?
-
Monthly through AutoPay or electronic funds transfer (switching from another method to AutoPay is only available from April – August)
-
Yearly with a credit card
What information do I need to pay my dues?
It’s easy! If you wish to pay monthly, all you need is your:
-
- IEA membership number
- Zip Code that IEA has on file
- Your bank account number
- Your bank routing number
If you wish pay your dues in full each year with a credit card, all you need is your:
-
- IEA membership number
- Zip Code that IEA has on file
- Credit card information
- Annual dues may also be paid via check
When will my payments be deducted from my account?
If you choose electronic funds transfer, your automatic withdrawal schedule will be based on your school district’s payroll routine. If you opt to pay by credit card, your annual dues will appear on your statement on Sept. 28 (or the next business day thereafter) each year. If you are a new member joining in October or later, your annual dues will be charged on the 28th of the month in which you enroll. All future year annual dues will then be charged on Sept. 28 or the next business day thereafter.
Can I use the routing number on my deposit slips?
No. A simple Google search with your “bank name” and “routing number” will provide you with the correct number.
I don’t use checks. Where can I find my account number to set up electronic payments?
Check your mobile banking app and look for an MICR number. This is sometimes different from your ACH number used for setting up direct deposit. Contact your bank’s customer service with any additional questions or guidance.
