How waivers work

• Waivers are based on a member's status as of Jan. 1, 2008.
• The waivers are intended for members who will be out of the work force the entire calendar year.
• If you are granted a waiver and you no longer meet the stated criteria, you are obliged to notify the Academy and pay the full dues amount.
• All requests for waivers must be submitted by May 1, 2008.
• Members who are at least 70 years old, or who are at least 55 years old and remain totally disabled, are not required to reapply for a full waiver every year. Others must certify annually that they meet the stated criteria for the full dues waivers.
• If you are granted a waiver and you no longer meet the stated criteria, you are obliged to notify the Academy and pay the full dues amount.

Members with full dues waivers are eligible to receive the Actuarial Update, Contingencies magazine, Inside the Academy, annual meeting notices, voting material for proposed bylaw amendments, and material from the Actuarial Standards Board.
