Member Records Manual 1
Foreword
Maintaining the membership records system and
NARFE magazine mailing list, which includes
more than 300,000 members and subscribers, is the
responsibility of NARFE Headquarters. We continually
strive to provide the best information possible to our
membership and the field by maintaining complete and
accurate membership records.
The membership master file includes all active members, potential and inac-
tive members, subscriber and complimentary records. The information from the
membership master file is used to generate rosters, reports, printouts, dues
notices, membership cards and mailing labels.
The NARFE membership system has been developed and improved over
many years. Working together, NARFE’s members and Headquarters staff
have molded the system to suit the needs of an ever-changing organization.
This edition of the NARFE Member Records Manual provides useful informa-
tion to chapters, federations and others concerning procedures and forms
needed to maintain an accurate and up-to-date membership records system.
This revised manual supersedes all previous editions.
NARFE Member Records System

Each state federation president has the authori-ty to establish and/or change a Logistic Support Area for each chapter within the federation.An individual ZIP code cannot be assigned to more than one chapter.

SECTION 1:
NEW MEMBERSHIPS
Amembership application must be completed for each annually renewing newmember to be added to the membership system. In order to process anapplication, all the requested information should be listed legibly. To transmit
the names of the new members who are recruited by chapters along with any pay-ments, use form F-16, Dues Transmittal Sheet for New Members. Instructions forpreparing this form are on its reverse side.
When someone enrolls as an annual member, he or she is billed every subse-quent year for membership dues. Membership dues include national and chapterdues (set locally). The H-140A gives the applicant four payment options: checkenclosed, bill me, credit card payment or money order.
While the H-140A is the basic national membership application, there are twoother types of applications: National Life Membership (F-53) and Dues-Withholding(DW-2 or DW-3). A basic application for annual membership can also be found inevery issue of NARFE magazine.
Adding New Members
Membership Eligibility in NARFENARFE membership eligibility categories are found in the NARFE Bylaws, Article I, Membership and Dues,Section 1, “Any person who is or will be eligible to receive an annuity or survivor annuity from any of the civil-ian retirement programs of any agency of the government of the United States or of the District of Columbiashall be eligible for membership in the Association without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, sex orage, and upon application, shall be accepted as such member unless excluded by the National Executive Board(NEB) for reasons deemed by them to be detrimental to the Association.”
Dues-Withholding ProgramsDues Withholding is a payment method that gives NARFE members the option
of having their annual dues automatically deducted from their annuities on amonthly basis. The following forms are used to enroll:
� DW-2. Used by existing members who want dues withheld from their annuity.
Member Records Manual 3
Dues-Withholding Programs
� DW-3. Designed for new members joining the Association who prefer tobegin their membership as dues-withholding members. DW-3 is printed on greencard stock. DW-3 is pictured below.
Dues Withholding is a combined national and chapter dues-withholding planwhereby the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) withholds one-twelfth ofthe combined national and chapter dues.
The month in which withholding will begin is determined by the annual dues expi-ration date. In cases where members are behind in their dues payment, the withhold-ing date will be the withholding month currently being processed.
Chapters will receive the full amount of chapter dues on the member’sanniversary date, which is the month withholding began. Thereafter, the chapterwill receive payment each following year on that anniversary month. NARFEHeadquarters will issue checks to the chapters along with a payment report stat-ing the names of the members with dues withholding for the first time or with adues-withholding anniversary month matching the withholding month.

4 Member Records Manual
Dues-Withholding Programs
National/chapter members must have both chapter and national dues
withheld under the dues-withholding program. Inquiries or problems
with a NARFE withholding should be directed to NARFE Headquarters
not the Office of Personnel Management. Direct contact with NARFE
national will avoid unnecessary delays.
TRANSFERS AND DUES-WITHHOLDINGTransfers between chapters will not automatically transfer a withholding to anoth-
er chapter. Dues-withholding members who transfer from one chapter to anotherneed to submit an F-84, Chapter Transfer, to affect the transfer. An alternate methodof transferring chapters is to have a chapter officer send written correspondence tothe Member Records Section or contact the toll-free number 800-456-8410.
WHEN A CHAPTER CHANGES THE DUES AMOUNTThe chapter should inform NARFE Headquarters by letter or by completing
the appropriate block on the F-7 form and returning it to the Federation andChapter Services Section indicating the new dues amount and when the new duesgo into effect. After Headquarters has received and processed this information, alldues-withholding checks for chapter dues will automatically be changed, and themembers’ deductions will be changed on their anniversary dates. Notification mustbe received at least 90 days before the month the dues change is effective.
DUES-WITHHOLDING MEMBERSHIP CARDSDues-withholding participants receive permanent membership cards during the
first month of withholding. This card is valid for as long as a member continues toparticipate in NARFE’s voluntary dues-withholding program. It contains theNARFE national membership number, the name of the participant, the chapternumber and the effective date. The effective date is not an expiration date. It is themember’s anniversary date, which marks the inception of withholdings from themember’s annuity. Every year in the month specified on the membership card, thechapter will receive the full amount of the chapter dues for these participants hav-ing both national and chapter dues withheld.
LEAD TIME FOR PROCESSING DUES WITHHOLDINGThe processed dues-withholding application will show the member’s anniver-
sary date and the amount of the monthly withholdings. Membership dues pay-ments should never accompany DW-2 applications. OPM requires six to eightweeks of lead time for dues-withholding to take effect, so completed DW-2 formsshould be received in Headquarters at least 60 days before the renewal date of themember requesting participation.
Member Records Manual 5
National Life Membership
The Life Membership option eliminates the need for a yearly national dues pay-ment and saves the national office administrative costs. It also results in savings formembers over the years. Members who enroll by submitting form F-53, LifeMembership Application, are permanent members of NARFE and a permanentsource of support in our Association. This payment option does not include thechapter dues amount, which will be billed on a yearly basis. The costs for lifememberships are based on age at time of application.
Previous membership status or prepayment of national dues will have noeffect on the life membership fee schedule.
Paid life membership does not apply to chapter membership; it applies toNARFE national membership only.
Paid life members receive permanent life membership cards embossed withtheir names and NARFE identification numbers. They also receive inscribed cer-tificates and full color enamel pins.
Those members who choose to pay for a life membership in quarterlyinstallments will have a partial life membership until all installments are paid.This designation is noted on all reports as “PL.” The life membership card, cer-tificate and pin are not issued until all installments are paid.
Inquiries pertaining to life membership fees or payments should be directed tothe Member Records Section at NARFE Headquarters.
6 Member Records Manual
Distinguished Member Program
The NARFE Bylaws, Article I, Membership and Dues, Section 5(A), states: “Amember who has reached the age of eighty-five (85) years and has been a NARFEmember for at least twenty (20) years may be recognized as a Distinguished Memberupon request and certification by the chapter to the National Office that the criteriahave been met. A member recognized under the Distinguished Member programmust continue to pay NARFE dues.”
Chapters should submit names of members who are eligible for the DistinguishedMember program with documentation to the Member Records Section.
With this background, the member’s record will be converted to DistinguishedMember status and a permanent Distinguished Member card will be issued. This cardwill contain the member’s ID number, name and the word “Distinguished,” designat-ing membership status. Distinguished Member cards are sent to the officer who sub-mitted the request (unless advised otherwise) for presentation to the member.
Unless specifically noted by the chapter, Headquarters will code the member fornational Distinguished status only, which will not affect the yearly chapter billingprocess. Each notification should state whether the chapter is requesting nationalDistinguished status only or both national and chapter Distinguished status.
Inquiries pertaining to Distinguished Member eligibility and certification proce-dures should be directed to the Member Records Section Manager. Inquiries pertain-ing to the accuracy of a member’s record should be directed to the Member RecordsSection.
National Distinguished Membership is not transferable and ceases upon death. Aspouse may not inherit a national Distinguished Membership.
Adding or Transferring Chapter MembersChapters should notify Headquarters, by e-mail or the 800 line, of new chap-
ter members recruited from the LSA list or transferred from other chapters. TheNARFE membership system lists those members added to the chapter on theMonthly Chapter Activity Report (M-112).

SECTION 2:
OTHER MEMBERRECORDS
Prospective Members and Recruitment
NARFE Headquarters will accept thenames and addresses of federalemployees, retirees or other eligi-
ble people who are not members ofNARFE. Lists of prospective members,persons recently or about to be retiredand who are eligible for NARFE member-ship, are received from a variety ofsources.
Names of potential members will be placed on a special list in our computerfiles and accessed for the mailing of recruitment materials from Headquarters. Thenames and addresses of prospective members are retained in the computer filesfor one year to facilitate conversion to membership. The prospective member file,if fully utilized, can be a valuable resource in aiding membership recruitmentefforts.
Chapters will be notified on the Monthly Chapter Activity Report (M-112) ofprospective members recently added to the list and who live in their chapter orLogistic Support Area (LSA). These people may be contacted at the local level formembership recruitment. The identification number assigned to a prospectivemember becomes the permanent identification number when membership isapplied for and national and chapter dues are received and processed. Normalprocessing time of an application is two to four weeks.
Prospective members who join NARFE through a chapter should be listed onForm F16, Dues Transmittal Sheet, as new members. All inquiries pertaining toprospective members should be directed to the Recruitment and Retention Sectionat NARFE Headquarters.
The prospective member file, if fully
utilized, can be a valuable resource in
aiding membership recruitment efforts.
Inactive Member Records
CANCELLED BY REQUESTThese members may be chapter members or reside in the chapter’s Logistic
Support Area (LSA). For financial, personal or other reasons, they have askedNARFE Headquarters to cancel their memberships.
NON-RENEWALSMembers who fail to pay their dues are allowed a grace period of approxi-
mately 90 days before being placed in an inactive member status. If a dues pay-ment is received during this grace period and prior to inactive status, it isprocessed as a regular renewal with a new expiration date advanced one-yearfrom the former date. If a dues payment is received for a membership while it is inthe inactive file, it is processed as a reinstatement to active status with a new expi-ration date, which is advanced one year from the payment date.
MEMBER DEATHForm F-9, Notification of Death of Member, should be completed by the chap-
ter and sent to NARFE Headquarters, or the chapter may choose to notify theMember Records Section by calling the toll-free number 1-800-456-8410. Onreceipt of this notice, Headquarters automatically transfers to the spouse anyunexpired membership of the deceased member. If the membership of thedeceased has expired at the same time, Headquarters will give the spouse who isnot a member an opportunity to join, or continue the membership in theAssociation with the options of a life membership, dues-withholding or payment ofannual dues. If the surviving spouse is not a federal employee or retired employee,he/she may continue on dues withholding after receiving a CSF number fromOPM and completing adues-withholding form.
Surviving spousesof dues withholdingmembers who are alsoon dues withholdingwill receive a renewalnotice (unless they arethe employee orretired employee). If amember’s spouse doesnot notify the chapterof the member’sdeath, a renewal noticewill be sent as soon as OPM informs us the member is deceased.

Membership Renewals
NARFE uses a two renewal notice system. Dues renewal notices are producedto inform members who are in annual dues-paying status that it is time to renewtheir memberships. Notices are generated and mailed according to the member’sexpiration date.
FIRST RENEWAL NOTICEThe first renewal notice is mailed two months prior to the member’s expira-
tion date. This notice includes: (1) a renewal portion, to be returned with a checkfor the dues indicated; (2) a pre-addressed return envelope to use when sending inthe renewal and payment.
Chapters should urge members to send their renewal payment directly to thelockbox by using the preprinted envelope sent with their renewal notice. Thenotice received by the member has special coding and is designed to increase accu-racy and to reduce costs in updating our computer membership records. This willexpedite the processing of dues payments.
SECOND RENEWAL NOTICEA second renewal notice is mailed to members who did not respond to the
first notice. The second renewal notice is mailed one month after the expirationdate and includes a renewal portion and a pre-addressed return envelope.
ACTION BY CHAPTERA member may choose to pay his/her renewal dues to the chapter. If so,
chapters should follow the instructions for submitting dues of renewing mem-bers printed on the form F-16R, Dues Transmittal Sheet, for renewing mem-bers. Remittance of renewals on a Transmittal Sheet, should be accompanied bya dues renewal notice for each member listed. A sample of form F-16R withinstructions is included at the end of this manual.
Once a member renews, send in the dues renewal notice and theTransmittal Sheet promptly. Prompt action avoids further dues renewal noticesbeing mailed to the member. This saves irritation on the part of the memberand the chapter, and embarrassment and unnecessary cost to the Association.Including the dues renewal notice received by the member from Headquarterswith the Transmittal Sheet ensures that the correct member record is updated.
If the dues renewal notice is not available, enter the membership expirationdate and the name in the appropriate space on the form F-16R.
Rather than submitting changes directly, a member may choose to give nameand address changes to his/her chapter for submission to NARFE Headquarters.Please submit changes of address by e-mail, mail or notify the Member RecordsSection of this change by calling the toll-free number 1-800-456-8410 or by e-mail to [email protected].
Chapters are encouraged to submit name and address changes at least fourweeks before the date they will go into effect. This normally provides sufficienttime to update the record and prevent erroneous mailings. After a name has beenchanged or a chapter transfer is processed, the member should request a newmembership card. All changes do no generate a new card. For more informationon membership cards, see pages 9 and 10.
Changes to a Member Record
12 Member Records Manual
To submit changes to the chapter or federation officer’s roster, follow theinstructions on forms F-7 and F-7A, which are included in Section 5, SampleForms, at the end of this Manual. As stated in National Bylaws, Article I, Section3(e), chapters will advise the Headquarters by January 1 of each year of theamount of its individual chapter dues. This change is also reported on an F-7.The forms should be updated at least once a year and sent to theHeadquarters’ Federation and Chapter Services Section whether there arechanges or not and also must be submitted whenever there is a change in offi-cers or dues amount.
Changes to Officer’s Roster
Logistic Support Area - ZIP Code AssignmentsThe Logistic Support Area (LSA) consists of a group of postal ZIP codes that
have been assigned to each chapter within a federation. This enables Headquartersto send membership information on national-only and potential members directlyto the chapter that serves that particular ZIP code area.
Each federation president has the authority to establish and change a logisticsupport area for chapters within the federation. All ZIP codes within a federationshould be assigned. An individual ZIP code cannot be assigned to more than onechapter.
New ZIP codes that are put into service by the postal service and becomeknown to NARFE through entry into the member records system, are listed onthe quarterly LSA roster. The roster is distributed to federations and regional vicepresidents. Federation presidents should review these rosters and submit changes
Member Records Manual 13
to Headquarters.
No changes in ZIP codeassignments can be made with-out written instructions fromthe federation president. If aZIP code is transferred fromone chapter to another, thefederation must consult bothchapters. No change should bemade without agreementbetween the chapters. If a chap-ter believes its LSA assignmentis incorrect or impractical, itshould contact the federationpresident, who will adviseHeadquarters of reassignment of ZIP codes. Federations should not reassign ZIPcodes from other states to chapter LSAs within their state.
Changes in LSA assignments should be submitted by the federation president toheadquarters on form F-46. Additions should be entered on the front and dele-tions on the back. Be sure to fill in the applicable chapter number(s) in the spacesprovided. A sample of the form F-46, with instructions, follows. Proper use of thisform will help ensure prompt and accurate entry into the computer system of LSAassignments. Be sure to sign and supply the information requested at the bottom ofthe form.

REPORTS ANDLISTINGS FROMHEADQUARTERS
Note: Select chapter officers can now access several reports online.The M-112 (Chapter Activity Report) and the M-114 (Semi-AnnualMembership Roster) are now posted under the Special Section oncelogged into the NARFE Web site.
14 Member Records Manual
This report is generated by the NARFE computer system after each monthly pro-cessing cycle. Reports are distributed to chapter presidents, chapter membershipchairs, federation presidents, federation membership chairs and regional vice presi-dents. Chapter presidents receive two copies of the report and should redistributethem to other chapter officers who need them. There are no extra copies availablefor distribution. The report lists transactions processed during the calendar month.Processing done after this date will appear on the next month’s Chapter ActivityReport.
This report is used by many chapters as a membership retention tool. A chapterofficer or appointed member or committee should immediately contact memberswho have received second renewal notices or who have been dropped for non-pay-ment of dues, to encourage them to pay their dues or rejoin NARFE.
Chapters also use this report to update their Semi-Annual Membership Roster (M-114), which also is discussed in this section of the Manual. This permits the chapter tokeep a monthly accounting of the total chapter membership.
