In February 2009, the Trustees of the NEA Members Insurance Trust (NEA MIT) and the Executive Committee of the NEA approved an amendment to the NEA Members Insurance Plan to add additional categories of eligibility for former NEA members. This action was the result of the NEA MIT’s discovery that individuals with lapsed NEA memberships were participating in Trust insurance programs.
The Trust also determined that a significant percentage of these former members were either elderly, disabled, laid off or the spouse of a deceased member. Because these former members continued making premium payments, believing — albeit erroneously — they were still eligible to participate in the Trust programs, the Trustees agreed to allow them to continue participation. However, they MUST inform the Trust that they fall into one of the new eligible categories.
