Commitment to Membership Agreement 2025-26
Note: Program enrollment will be open through October 31st, 2025. After that date, no additional participants will be allowed to enroll in the 2025-26 program. If you are rejoining the MEA, a new Membership Application is required.
As a current or former MEA member that wants to rejoin the Association or participate in this program, by completing and submitting this form to the Michigan Education Association (“MEA”), you (“Member”) agree to become a member in good standing (“MIGS”) by paying dues using one of the following methods:
  • Pay your dues monthly with eDues autopay (payments will be electronically deducted from your bank account or credit card on the 25th of the month every September-June while you are an active member in a bargaining unit).
  • Make a lump sum payment for the MEA membership year in full by October 31st, 2025.
  • Pay your dues with payroll dues deduction (dues will be witheld from your paycheck on the dates of your local association's payroll dues deduction schedule).
Note that payment options vary by local association.
If there are no missed payments by the end of the membership year, MEA will provide a $200 credit to your outstanding balance for your membership dues, paying down your arrearage for every year you participate in the program. If the amount owed is less than $200 and you comply with the requirements of the program, the balance will be eliminated, but you will not receive a credit for the difference between the $200 and the balance owed. Additionally, you will not receive a credit on your past due balance if you do not maintain membership and meet your financial obligations under the Dues Transmittal Policy from the date you sign this agreement until the conclusion of the 2025-26 MEA membership year. Balances subject to court judgement are not eligible for the program.
If upon your retirement or resignation from employment a balance remains, the MEA Executive Director will review your membership record and make a determination at that time regarding the best practice to address your arrearage going forward.
If you opt out of membership while you are still eligible for active membership in the MEA, your participation in this program will be nullified, and MEA will resume billing for your outstanding balance. You will be ineligible to re-enroll in the program.
