All PSWD ARS Members
If you are trying to pay your ARS dues online by Feb 7th and have been receiving an error message stating that the transaction is not valid in the State of California be advised that ARS is aware of the problem.
You may have called into ARS and haven't received a return call. The staff is doing their best to notify people but have been swamped with messages.
If you can, send in the payment via snail mail. The database transition will take about 2 weeks to complete.
In the meantime, register for the CR Classes as normal and don't worry about your membership status.
We will work on the issue after the database transition. If you pay your dues in a timely manner, after the transition is complete you will receive
the full CR credits you have earned.
Do not call ARS membership or awards about this issue, they are focusing on the transition and will not have time to return your call.
