How to Request an AFT Membership Card

All Arc of Monmouth staff in Bargaining Unit positions begin paying dues after 30 days of employment and are then entitled to an AFT membership card.  The information on our membership is transmitted to AFT when our Local 3782 Treasurer sends in monthly dues money transferred to us from Arc's Accounting Department.
 
If you have not received a membership card from national AFT after we have included you in our dues report to AFT, you can request one by calling AFT Membership Services at 1-888-238-5646.  Although the official name for our local is Federation of NJARC Staff, national AFT has us listed as Monarch Federation of Staff.  Our Local number is 3782.
 
You can also request a card online at http://www.aft.org/members/index.cfm.  To register for the "members only" section of the AFT website you will need your membership number and local number.  If you do not have the membership number, you can request it by clicking on a "needs help" icon or any link to AFT membership services to request help.  You will need to fill out an online help request form.  Membership services will email the membership number to you, and you can then register on the website and request a membership card or a replacement membership card.  You can also print out a temporary membership card pending receipt of the permanent plastic card.

Several Local 3782 members have reported how pleased they are with using their AFT cards for AFT Plus merchandise and entertainment discounts.
