All currently retired or soon-to-be-retired University of Minnesota employees and their spouses or significant others are eligible to join UMRA. Your initial membership is free! When you first join UMRA, you’ll get a free membership that lasts until June 30th of the next year. After that, dues are $40 per year for a single membership and $60 for a dual membership.
Once you’re part of UMRA, you can enjoy a wide range of member benefits, including educational programs, social events, parking discounts and much more.
