The program provides savings to its members on services through various sources, but the list of benefits may be modified at any time. A quarterly newsletter will keep members informed about changes and other important information.

Payments for the program are due in advance and will be drafted on or about 15 days before the due date. If you choose to cancel your program, it's crucial to send a written request for cancellation to NEA at least 15 days prior to the anniversary of your effective date.
NEA reserves the right to terminate any enrollment or deny eligibility in the program for lack of payment. Returned checks, insufficient notices on bank drafts, or denial by the member's credit card company for payment of the membership fee are considered evidence of non-payment.
