Q1. When are commissions paid?
A. Commissions are paid between the 15th and 20th of each month for activity the previous month.

Q2. How do I receive my commissions?
A. All commissions are paid in US funds. You may choose one of the following options:

  • By Direct Deposit: You may request direct deposit of your commission check to a USA bank account. (This option will be available to international Members in the future.)
  • By Mail: Your commission check will be mailed to you by postage mail as indicated above. (If you do not choose to receive your commissions by direct deposit, wire transfer or carry over, your check will be mailed to you.)
  • By Wire Transfer: If requested prior to the 3rd of the month, we can wire transfer your commissions. There is an additional cost of $18.00 for each transfer. We must receive the wire transfer form prior to the 3rd of the month.
  • Carry over Commissions:  Commissions can be held until they reach a predetermined dollar amount if requested. To request we hold your commissions until they reach a predetermined dollar amount contact acf4@dhs-club.com
Q3. If a VIP in my personal downline cancels their membership but has paid their monthly subscription fee for the current month, will I receive commissions on their subscription fee for the month in which they canceled?
A. As an example: A VIP cancels their membership in the month of January.  You, as the sponsoring VIP,  would not be entitled to commission on this VIP for the month of January (the check you receive in February). As we do not go back retroactively and recalculate commissions when a VIP in your downline contests a credit card charge;  when a personal check is returned for insufficient funds or when a stop payment has been placed against a check or an account has been closed, we do not pay commissions on a canceled VIP's subscription fee.

Q4. "John", my personally sponsored VIP, has downgraded to Partner in the month of May.  Will John's personally sponsored VIPs, Partners, and Members automatically roll up to me in the month of May and will I receive a commission on the VIP's subscription fees  for the month of May?
A. As a Partner, if John has enough Member and personal purchases in a month to total $25.00 in CV, then the John will qualify as a VIP for that month and be entitled to receive override commissions. Should John fail to qualify as a VIP then their new Partner(s) and/or VIP(s) will be transferred to the sponsorship of the first qualified VIP in the upline.

Q5. I am the first qualified VIP upline from John (in the above example). John did not qualify as a VIP for the month of May.  Will I earn commissions for the month of May on the VIPs who rolled up to me when John did not qualify?
A. Yes. 

Q6. When does this roll up take place?
A. All VIPs and Partners who join the DHS Club have a 72 hour right of recision. For example: VIPs or Partners who join the Club on May 31 have until June 3rd to cancel their subscription to the Club and receive a full refund.   In this example we roll up VIPs and Partners on June 4th, prior to the commission run for May.  If the 4th of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the roll up takes place on the first business day following the 4th.

Q7. I have not sponsored another VIP into the Club for 3 consecutive months. If I receive VIPs as part of a rollup (as in the example above) do these VIPs count towards my Active Sponsor Requirement?
A. As the VIPs involved in the roll up were already in the Club, they do not count towards your Active Sponsor Requirement.

Q8. Is there a deadline as to when I can make changes in how I receive my commission check each month? (Example: I need to make an address change or wish to have my commissions held until they reach a predetermined amount or I want to change the name on my account).
A. Yes there is a deadline.  All changes or request for commissions checks should be sent to our Accounting Department no later than the 3rd of the month. Changes or request sent will be for the check sent that month for the previous month's activity.  (example: On September 1 you send a change of address request. This meets the deadline for checks for commissions earned in the month of August which are mailed in the month of September).  This same request sent on September 4 would not effect the check sent in September. (would go into effect for check sent in October).

Q9. If I have a (TQ) Team Qualifier or downline of 1000 VIPs under me. Do I get a commission check, even if I have yet to sell a subscription to the DHSC Benefits Program?
A. In order to be paid commissions from the TQ (VIP downline) you have to have sold VIP subscriptions to The DHS Club Benefits Program.

Q10. If my monthly subscription fee is not received by the Club, will I still receive my commission check?
A. Monthly subscription fees must be current for commissions to be received.  If your monthly subscription fee is not paid in our first billing cycle (between the 4th and 8th of the month) the commission due will be carried over to be included with the next month's commissions.

Q11. Can my monthly subscription fee be deducted from my commissions each month rather than be charged on my credit card or checking account?
A. Yes, once you personally sell 3 VIP subscriptions to The DHS Club Benefits Program and meet the TQ & GQ to qualify as a Team Leader,  your monthly subscription fee will be deducted from your commissions each month rather than be charged to your credit card or checking account. This will begin the month after you reach the Team Leader level.

Q12. Do I make any income off my personally sponsored Free Members, Partners, and VIPs, on their purchases at our Clubshop Mall and Outlet Center?
A. Yes, your commissions will be calculated at the end of the month, based on your level of achievement.

Q13. Do I receive a commission on my own purchases?
A. Yes, you would receive commissions based on your purchases and on your title at the end of the month.

Q14. I have sold a DHSC Benefits Program Subscription to a VIP who is a Team Captain.  I have a total of 5  DHSC VIP Benefits Program Subscriptions sold  and have met the TQ and GQ for Bronze Manager. What would my  title be and at what title would I be paid?
A. Since you have sold only 5 DHSC VIP Benefits Program Subscriptions, your Title is that of Team Leader. Once you sell one more DHSC VIP Benefits Program Subscription, you will then have 6 personally sponsored VIPs, you will skip Team Captain and become a Bronze Manager!  In order to be promoted to (or paid for) a level, you must meet the qualifications for the previous level(s).

Q15. I am a Team Captain. What happens if one my 6 VIP's subscription fees goes uncollected? Do I still receive Team Captain pay?
A. Commissions are calculated on subscription fees collected. If you have a VIP whose subscription fees have been uncollected, you do not receive compensation for that VIP. So, in this example,  if at the end of the month a  subscription fee was not collected, your commission check would reflect that of a Team Leader with 5 Personally sold VIP Benefits Program Subscriptions.

Q16. Is there a limit on how much you can make for income?
A. Your income can continue to grow with no limit on how much you can make.

Q17. I am a Ruby Director, but I have not personally sold a DHSC VIP Benefits Program Subscription  within 3 consecutive months. How does the Active Sponsorship affect me? How would my commission be calculated?
A. In order to be entitled to increased rates of Residual Income, the monthly Leadership Bonus and the Monthly Leadership Income, one has to be an Active Sponsor, which is defined as,"Selling at least one new VIP Benefits Program Subscription within a consecutive 3 month period".The Active Sponsorship Rule will not apply to a VIP who reaches a new level (making it the highest level achieved) within a 3 month period.

Q18. Can I make the President's Club as an Executive Director with only 6 personally signed VIPs and 9,000 VIPs for my (TQ) and 200 for my (GQ)?
A. Yes, if you have 2 Managers and 1 Director out of you have personally sold 6 VIP Benefits Program Subscriptions and have a total of 9,000 or more for your (TQ) and 200 for your (GQ) you can make the President's Club.

Q19. I have qualified as an Executive Director, but the following month, I am no longer qualified as an Executive Director. I am now a Diamond Director. Does the active sponsorship affect me since I had previously been an Executive Director?
A. If you qualify as an Executive Director, then the Active Sponsorship Rule does not apply to you. Should you qualify for less than Executive Director, then the Active Sponsorship does apply to you. Keep in mind, your last date of sponsorship could be more than 3 months.

Q10. Can you explain the Active Sponsorship requirements? 
A. A full explanation of the Active Sponsorship Requirements may be found on our Compensation Plan page. 

 Basically, you must either sponsor one new VIP within a 3 consecutive calendar month period   (A calendar month begins on the first of the month and ends on the last day of that month) or have reached your highest level yet during that 3 consecutive calendar month period to be considered an active sponsor. (Example:  If you sponsor a VIP on July 15 that month counts as your first month. You would be considered an active sponsor for July, August and September (with such VIP being current in the payment of their fees. If this VIP cancels their membership during this 3 month period, you would not be considered an active sponsor).  Your first Active Sponsor calendar month starts from the upgrade month of your last personally sponsored VIP.
