Benefits and Status of IEEE Life Membership

• Dues and Regional assessments are waived for a Life member. 
• For qualifying Life members, Society fees are waived (IEEE Bylaw I-108.8).
• Individuals may receive reduced member rates at IEEE sponsored conferences.  IEEE Policy 10.1.15 (Conference Registration Fees) indicates "There must be a reduced fee, waiver of fees, or fee differential for Student members.  Reduced fees, waiver of fees, or fee differential for unemployed IEEE members, retired members, and Life members, and for special registrants (e.g., guests, speakers, and exhibitors) are permitted at the discretion of the Conference Committee.  The individual registration fee for retired members and for Life members must be no more than that for Students."
• Life members continue to receive the same benefits that are available to other IEEE members.
  • IEEE Financial Advantage Program (includes IEEE Insurance Program)

If a Life member does not annually confirm that they would like to continue to receive the services/publication(s), they will be removed from the active membership roster and placed on inactive status.  An IEEE Life member with an inactive status will not receive services/publication(s) or an election ballot.  Active Life membership shall be reinstated, with no loss of continuity of membership upon notification that the Life member confirms that the services/publication(s) and/or distribution of an election ballot are still desired, subject to the limitations of IEEE Bylaw I-308.10.
