PAYMENT GUIDELINES
In order to receive your High Holy Day tickets, at least 50% of your membership dues must be paid by August 15, 2023, with the balance paid by December 31, 2023, unless a payment plan is established by August 15, 2023. Payment plans must be renewed each year. E-checks, personal checks, or credit cards may be used to pay your dues; see options below.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
- • Pay 2023-24 dues in full before August 15, 2023
- • Pay 50% of 2023-24 dues before August 15, 2023 and 50% by December 31, 2023
- • Set up a payment plan for 2023-24 dues on www.agudath.org, and pay in installments of your choosing. (See notes about payment plans below.)
If you choose the option of paying dues and/or tuition with a credit card, a convenience fee of 3% will be charged with each payment. If you choose to pay by e-check or personal check, you will not be charged this fee.
Payment Plan Notes
- Payment plants do NOT automatically renew. A new plan must be established for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
- If a payment plan for ECC or Religious School tuition has already been set up for 2023-24, that payment plan did NOT include payments for 2023-24 dues; a separate or new payment plan for both will need to be established.
HOW TO SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN
- Go to www.agudath.org and log into your account by clicking the gray box in the top right-hand corner that says, “My CAI.” Once logged in successfully, the gray box will say, “Welcome [Name].” (If you forgot or do not know your password, simply click “Forgot Password” and you will be emailed a link to set up a new password).
- From the “My Account” dropdown menu, click “Pay My Bill.” You will see your current charges reflected.
- Under “Pay this amount,” you can choose to pay “Once Now,” “Once Later,” or select the number of payment installments you’d prefer. Then click “Continue to Payment.”
- On the payment screen, you can then enter the e-check or credit card information you’d like to use.
- If you would like to combine monthly payments for ECC and/or RS tuition with dues, please contact the Main Office to make these arrangements. You will not be able to set this up on your own.
