Dear SOBATAM Group delegates & Pool members,

Now that the benefits status has been activated and SOBATAM IDs assigned to the overwhelming majority of our members, we are organizing  on 10/2/2022 starting from 3PM EDT, a training for all group delegates and SOBATAM Pool members. The  training will cover the following areas:

• Quick review of key points of Internal Rules and how SOBATAM is different.
• How to use the membership portal to perform most of the membership related operations; Registration, Update of information, removal of members, death notification, etc.
• Tips & best practices for SOBATAM Group management
• Any question you may have

Notes: Although this training targets group delegates and Pool members, all SOBATAM members are welcome to attend the training.

Dear SOBATAM Pool member,

The benefit activation date for those who registered up to 04/01/2022 is around the corner (06/29/2022). Please take the time to verify that your information on file is complete  and accurate:

• Your full name as in a government issued document
• Day and month of birth. We do not need the year of birth
• At least one beneficiary name provided
• Primary residence is USA or Canada and the information is provided.

Please pay your provision of $100 before the end of the 90-day waiting period. The $100 provision is your money. It will be used to pay your contributions if a member deceases. Any remaining funds will be given back to you if you leave SOBATAM. You can pay your provision via Zelle at finances@sobatam-na.org. Add in the Zelle transfer memo your name and "SOBATAM Pool provision" 

Also make sure you are not enrolled with SOBATAM more than once. Please  note that a member who enrolls  more than once,  will only receive the benefit for one enrollment. The benefit may be denied altogether if  it is established  that the multiple-enrollment was intentional.

To verify the information you can login on your group account on the Members Portal at: https://sobatam.wildapricot.org/

You can also mail your information at membership@sobatam-na.org

Thanks for being a valuable member of SOBATAM

Best regards,
