BRIEF SUMMARY OF BENEFITS FOR NASCOE MEMBERS

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR NASCOE BENEFITS: NASCOE Exec Policies – item #33 explains who is eligible and how.  Ex) Current and Former FSA employees – if eligible for full membership in NASCOE – must be a full member to take advantage of the benefits.  If a person is only eligible for associate membership in NASCOE – you must be an associate member.  NADD and NAFEC – must be an associate member of NASCOE to take advantage of the benefits.

A basic exception) If the person is truly a retired NASCOE member then a RASCOE member that are not current FSA employees are eligible for any NASCOE benefit unless that membership is required by the company offering the benefit.

All benefits and explanation can be found on www.nascoe.org and clicking on Benefits.

THESE POLICIES ARE A MUST

·        Directors and Association Liability Policy – a policy titled “Not for Profit Organization Liability Policy”. This policy covers NASCOE from a wrongful act, employment practices or personal injury or publishers liability committed by an insured (officer) of NASCOE.

Both of these policies are common for organizations such as NASCOE and they provide a large variety of coverage for the NASCOE organization. A number of places hosting a convention will require the event policy before they will allow a NASCOE function at their property. In order to have coverage under these policies your State must invite a representative of J.M. Marketing to your meeting at least 30 days prior to your event.

Planning to retire? Want to retain your Insurance with JM Marketing?

If you are retiring from FSA and a NASCOE Member and have JM Marketing Insurance this is what you need to do:

·        You need to ask their respective State about membership in order to retain the discounted price on their JM Marketing Insurance.

·        You need to retain membership by becoming an associate member of NASCOE or a Member of RASCOE

·        When you have decided to retire or accepted in the VERA/VSIP then you will need to contact JM Marketing to let them know that you will no longer be on PRD and that JMM must direct bill you. JM Marketing can not tell you how to be a member to retain the discount they can only help you with the billing process.

In order to retain this benefit you have to be a member of NASCOE or RASCOE. If you are retiring you are eligible to be a member of RASCOE and an associate member of NASCOE.  People retiring need to check with your State Association for specifics on qualifying membership.
