Reminder: Deadline for STC Recovery Package applications is *today* at 5 PM EST (GMT-5)

The deadline for applying for the STC Recovery Packages for members is today, 19 January, at 5 PM EST (GMT-5). This deadline was extended from the original deadline of 31 December, and the qualifications were changed to allow more members to apply.

Previously, the Full Recovery Package required members to be “unemployed, on medical disability, or underemployed (less than 15 hours per week) since 30 June 2009”; that has been changed to “since 30 September 2009.” STC has also added “Are having major financial difficulties or unemployment challenges” to the list of qualifications.

Members who applied by the initial 31 December deadline will be judged together in one group, with later applicants being judged together as well. If you applied for a Subsidy Recovery Package by 31 December but feel you are now eligible for the Full Recovery Package, you should have received an email from Julia O’Connor to allow you to change your application. For more details on the Recovery Packages, check the STC website. If you have any questions, please email Julia O’Connor.

  1. I have been out of work since the end of May 2009.

    If somebody doesn’t come up with a really compelling case for why I should pay the ridiculously-hiked annual dues when I don’t have work – then maybe I should just say ‘sayonara’.

    It would be too bad for my chapter: someone else would have to take the almost-thankless task of managing the name badges (which I have done for 15 years). But raising dues when members are hurting is just plain WRONG.

    “Yukikaze”
