Time Off Policy:

Groups may take time off during July and two weeks in December. These breaks are accounted for in the annual fee, and monthly payments will still apply during these months.

Non-Prorated Fees:

STC fees only cover a portion of the cost for a member to attend a group. For this reason, fees are not prorated when a member joins or leaves mid-month.

Reduced Fee Plan:

Pure Life Alliance (PLA) offers scholarships to assist members facing financial difficulties. Scholarships are intended as a short-term solution to help members remain engaged in their groups.

Application Process:

  • Members can apply for a scholarship by visiting and filling out the form.

  • Scholarships are awarded for three (3) months and may be renewed once, for a maximum total of six (6) months per member.

Member Responsibility:

Even with financial assistance, PLA expects every member to contribute toward their own restoration. Scholarships will cover the difference but not the full cost of Sharing the Cost (STC) fees.

Encouragement to Apply:

Group leaders and members are encouraged to direct individuals experiencing difficulty with STC fees to apply for a scholarship or contact the office for support.

Scholarship Terms:

  • Scholarships apply only to the current and future months.

  • Members with outstanding balances must contact the office at [email protected] to discuss their account status.

Member Responsibility:

1. Late Payment Policy

  • Members who have not paid their Sharing the Cost (STC) fees by the first week of the month will receive an email reminder in the middle of the month.

  • If a member does not pay their overdue STC fees before the 1st of the following month, they will be considered delinquent.

2. Delinquency and Group Participation:

  • Members who are delinquent and miss two consecutive payments will have their group leader notified.

  • Delinquent members will be required to “sit out” of group meetings until their payments are brought up to date.

3. Couples’ STC Payments:

  • For couples paying $75/month collectively, the PLA office will communicate directly with the individual who set up the payment account regarding any late payments

  • If the primary payer does not respond to the late payment notice, PLA may notify the other spouse and potentially their group leader.

Leader Responsibility:

1. Addressing Late Payments:

  • Leaders who receive a notice about a member’s unpaid STC fees should gently remind the member to make their payment. Additionally, they should inquire if the member is experiencing financial difficulties and inform them about the Reduced Fee Plan (see details above).

  • Leaders should wait for confirmation from the office before allowing a member to resume group attendance.

Absence Policy:

1. STC Fees During Absences:

Sharing the Cost (STC) fees cover only a portion of the overall cost for a member to attend a group. As such, STC fees are not prorated or waived for any reason, including a member’s inability to attend.

2. Extended Absences:

If a member needs to take an extended leave of absence, they should:

  1. Cancel their membership by contacting the office at [email protected].

  2. Reapply to the program upon their return by completing the Get Help form on the PLA website.
