When is the best time to join ATPE to avoid any delays in the insurance coverage?
• Although any time is a good time to join ATPE, joining by September 30 is best. The reason is because coverage is effective on August 1 if you renew your membership anytime during August or September. • Employment rights defense insurance is not effective until 30 days after your membership date if you join after September 30th and were eligible for membership from August through September. • For those who wish to renew or join online, it is best to do so by September 29th. This is because the effective membership date for an individual who joins or renews online is 12:01 a.m. the date following successful transmittal of the online application.
