E-Dues: Frequently Asked Questions for Members 

Current Members: 

Q: I signed up with an 1187. Why do I have to sign up again? 

A: There are active legislative plans to try to outlaw payroll dues deduction. If those plans are successful, you may lose your union membership through no fault of your own. The only way to make sure you keep your union membership, benefits, and protections is by signing up through E-Dues. 

Q: How do I switch from payroll deduction to E-Dues? 

A. Return to the home page and follow the links setup there or go to https://join.afge.org/L0618

Q: If I submit my 1188 then sign up for E-Dues, won’t I be double-billed? 

A: NO but there maybe a slight chance that this may happen. We apologize in advance for any overlap created by the agency. We will refund you any proven overlap as soon as the double billing is verified. If you encounter double dues, please contact us at EDues@afge.org. 

Q: If I give you my credit card now, can I update to bank draft later? 

A: Yes. You may manage your Payment Method by logging into AFGE.ORG and visiting MyProfile. You can also update your payment method here to log into your account https://billing.stripe.com or here https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/bIY7uR6ZVdFgcPC000/ without any login.
