Join NAAE

By joining NAAE, you join our fight to build a better workplace for the PPQ employee.  

How to Join: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1. Download form: SF-1187 Request for Payroll Deduction. 

2. Fill out the following (For a visual template for filling out the SF-1187, click here):

  • Name.
  • Social Security number.
  • HOME Address – We need your HOME address ONLY. It is against the law for us to send an election ballot to your office. Remember this is our only chance to get your address right for elections and newsletters.
  • Agency – USDA-APHIS-PPQ.
  • SECTION A – Leave this blank. We will fill in the correct information. The regular member dues is $15 per pay period (biweekly).
  • Please do NOT sign authorized signature – that’s for the NAAE National President.
  • SECTION B – Sign and date.

3. Give the completed form to any NAAE Officer or mail to the NAAE National President for processing, or email it to the NAAE President. Their address is always on the back of the newsletter (as well as all of the rest of your NAAE National officers).

email instructions: We will accept encrypted or password protected SF 1187 applications via email (instructions here). Please send them to president@aginspectors.org with the subject line “SF 1187 application”. If you are sending a password protected SF 1187 application, please send the password in a followup email to the same email address with the subject line, “SF 1187 application password”.  

Where to mail:
Christian Russe, President
P.O. Box 72214
Newnan, GA 30271

Please do not send certified mail or any other method that requires someone present for delivery.

Common Mistakes:
Some folks have tried to send their dues forms directly to Management for processing. This isn’t supposed to result in withheld dues, but sometimes it does. Management is not supposed to process any forms without an authorizing signature from the NAAE National President.

Bad things that happen to unauthorized forms:
1. Management hoards the unauthorized forms for about six months and then sends them back to us unprocessed for “no signature”.
2. Unauthorized forms are never processed, get thrown away, or otherwise “disappear”.
3. Management processes the dues withholding, NAAE never knew you joined, we lose our opportunity to get your home address because we never see the form, and you aren’t able to vote and never get a newsletter.please send the password in a
