NYS PTA Portal is Moving to MemberHub
Re: Timeline and Training
- Week of April 16 – Officers will receive detailed information via email regarding the transition timeline.
- Week of May 1 – Officers will receive details via email on how to log into MemberHub and where to go for more information and training videos.
It’s PTA Insurance Renewal Time
A renewal application for insurance will be mailed by AIM Insurance to the unit president’s home address in the next few days. Please follow the instructions and checklist carefully and return all signed forms along with your premium directly to AIM before the June 15 deadline.
IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Your current policy will expire on June 30. The effective date of your new policy will be July 1 OR the date you successfully complete the renewal paperwork and your premium is received, whichever is later. In other words, if you do not complete your renewal application by the deadline, your policy will have a lapse in coverage.
- Insurance certificates will be sent in the mail to the unit president as soon as the renewal is complete. This will be the certificate that is provided to the district or shown as proof of insurance.
- Policy documents will be emailed to the president and are for your unit records only.
- Reminder – the premiums are as follows:
SEPTA – $100
1 Building – $300
Each additional building – $200
