Retired Members - Dues Reduced. A
retired member, not gainfully employed and not
qualifying for Life Member status, on
attaining the age of 62 years may apply for a
50% reduction in dues and assessments.
An individual who qualifies for the IEEE
Retired Member category may continue any and
all Society memberships held for not less than
the five prior years, upon payment of the fees
for publication options established for
Student Members.
Exceptional Circumstances - Dues
Waived. Under exceptional
circumstances as provided for in the
Constitution, such as inability of a member to
remit dues due to wartime conditions, the
Board of Directors may, if it waives dues,
also declare that during the period of such
waiver, the member has maintained continuous
membership. The waiver shall apply to
Society dues, and the continuity of membership
during the waiver period shall apply to the
Society memberships held at the beginning of
that period.
Unemployed Members - Dues Reduced.
A 50% reduction in membership dues, Society
dues, other subscriptions and assessments
shall be granted to a member or applicant who
informs the IEEE Headquarters office that
he/she: (1) has become involuntarily
unemployed and is seeking reemployment, or (2)
has become voluntarily unemployed for reasons
of raising children. A statement of
continued unemployment shall be provided with
each annual dues payment. In the case of
voluntary unemployment, the provisions of this
Bylaw shall not exceed four years. The
reduced payments may not be made in installments.
Minimum Income - Reduced Dues. A
50% reduction in all applicable IEEE dues and
assessments is granted to a member or to an
applicant for membership above the grade of
Student, who submits satisfactory evidence
annually to IEEE Headquarters that the
member's annual income for the prior year did
not exceed the minimum income level.
Minimum income special consideration is not
applicable in combination with any other
special dues program.
Minimum Income. The minimum income
level shall be 100 times the amount of the basic
IEEE dues. Such payment may not be made
in installments. A member who qualifies
under this Policy may join one Society upon
payment of one-half the established dues for
that Society and may also subscribe to those
periodical subscriptions offered through that
society at one-half of the regular rates.
Additional memberships in other
Societies and periodical subscriptions shall
be at the regular rates. For purposes of
this Bylaw, "annual income" shall mean a
member's gross, unadjusted income including
all benefits and services from any source, as
distinguished from taxable income.
Permanently Disabled Member - Dues
Waived. The IEEE membership dues and
assessments, if any, shall be waived for those
members who become permanently disabled.
“Permanent disability” shall mean
a medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which (i) renders the individual
incapable of performing any substantial
gainful employment, (ii) can be expected to be
of long-continued and indefinite duration or
result in death, and (iii) is evidenced by a
certification to this effect by a doctor of
medicine approved by the IEEE Executive
Director. The IEEE Executive Director shall
determine the date on which the permanent
disability shall have occurred if such
determination is necessary.
