ESTA Technical Standards Program Membership Reimbursement

We reimburse IATSE workers who successfully obtain membership to an ESTA Technical Standards Program Working Group for the cost of the application. There is a $100-a-year participation fee for TSP membership. This is a flat rate, regardless of voting status or the number of working groups in which a person is a participant.

How Do I Request Reimbursement?

Your ESTA TSP membership application date must fall within the calendar year or six months of the date of your reimbursement application.

We can't issue reimbursements without proof of payment and proof of membership. Proof of membership must be in the form of a scanned or clearly photographed official ESTA TSP membership application. Proof of payment must be in the form of an official receipt from ESTA and must clearly reference payment for the applicant’s fees. If another source is making partial reimbursement, proof of the amount of that reimbursement is required from that source.

Please allow 4-6 weeks for reimbursement processing. This is a first-come, first-served program as the budget permits.
