All members enrolled in auto-renewal will receive multiple notices prior to the June 1 processing of dues payments each year, and, as a result, no refunds will be issued after the June 1 processing date. Members can opt to discontinue their enrollment in auto-renewal, which takes effect with the following fiscal year enrollment period. 

Any member who has voluntarily signed up for auto-renewal, or who has been automatically assigned (with proper notification) auto-renewal status upon being granted membership, will have their annual membership dues charged on or about June 1 of each calendar year at the applicable then-current membership rate. 

No refunds will be issued to any member who is not signed up for annual dues auto-renewal and makes a dues payment upon notice that their membership is due for renewal.

In cases where a member’s dues have mistakenly been paid twice for a particular fiscal year, the member can have such duplicate payment applied to the next fiscal year at the current-year rate or request a full refund without any fees applied. Contact us at membership@njcpa.org or 973 226-4494 with any questions regarding the refund policy.
