Registration and Insurance Rates
Why pay registration fees and take UMVIM, SEJ insurance?
In difficult economic times, it may seem like the cost for registration and insurance is more than the benefit until assistance is needed. Not until a team member is injured and needs to be evacuated for treatment does the small cost of registration and insurance seem worth it. Many times team members think they are covered by their personal insurance policy or the sponsoring church's insurance. However, often times these policies do not cross state lines or international borders.
In addition, registration fees account for almost half of the revenues of the UMVIM, SEJ office. Currently, only 11% of the revenue comes from SEJ apportionments, and even that income is being reduced annually by 25% until 2012. At that time, UMVIM, SEJ will receive nothing from Jurisdictional apportionments. GBGM provides a $20,000 grant from the One Great Hour of Sharing offering annually. In sum, without registration fees, the office would not be able to operate.
Effective December 20, 2010
What are the registration rates?
There are no changes for Registration fees. Registration for domestic team members is $12 per person. Registration for international team members is $17 per person.
