As an ACSS member, you will automatically be entitled to a $5,000 death benefit policy absolutely FREE. Because the Association underwrites this policy, if something happens to you your beneficiaries will be paid immediately, when they need the money most.You also have the choice to enroll in other insurances -- auto, disability, home, life and accidental death policies -- which are exclusive to our members.

Could You

use $100?

Recruit a new member to join ACSS and you could be eligible to receive $100.

The guidelines are simple!

Who is eligible for membership in ACSS?

All state managers, supervisors, exempt and confidential employees are eligible for ACSS membership. Your membership in a professional organization, like ACSS, is voluntary.

Who can receive the $100 as the recruiter? 

Any ACSS or CSEA member (active or retired) is eligible to receive the $100 reward.

The $100 recruiting reward is payable after the new ACSS member has completed 6 months of continuous membership and dues deductions. The recruiter will receive a confirmation letter with specific dates and information after the membership application has been processed.

The recruiter's information must be completed on the new member's original membership application when submitted.

Who does not qualify for the recruiter reward?

CSEA members who are newly promoted (to management, supervisory and/or a confidential position) and whose membership automatically transfers into ACSS (per the ACSS Policy File) are not eligible for the recruiting reward for themselves or another recruiter.

The small print . . .

These guidelines are interpreted by the ACSS Executive Officer, with the ACSS Executive Committee determining any disputed claims.

Recruiters must observe state agency rules regarding the use of state mail and work time.

Membership applications can be downloaded from the left-hand column link "How to Join" on this page. Simply print, complete and mail to ACSS headquarters. To obtain additional information or extra membership brochures, call the ACSS headquarters at (800) 624-2137.
