FAQs

SUAA represents current employees, retired individuals, their spouses and their survivors who will or are receiving benefits from the State Universities Retirement System.

SUAA is your voice at the Capitol and SUAA works hard to make it heard LOUD and clear by the legislators. SUAA provides a communication network through emails, legislative bulletins, websites, workshops and meetings that inform and update you on both local and state issues relative to and focused on your pension and healthcare benefits.

SUAA State Office dues are $39.00 a year. Chapter dues vary by chapter and the combined rate for your chapter and the SUAA State Office dues can be found on the Join Now page.

Your membership will be due one year from when you last paid. You will receive a renewal in the mail approximately one month prior to your due date. Please contact the State Office at suaa@suaa.org or (217) 523-4040 if you are unsure.

If your membership has lapsed (2 months past your membership dues date)  you will not be able to renew online. Please call the SUAA office and we will be happy to help you.
