All retirees from Memorial University, and their surviving principal beneficiaries, are automatically members of the MUN Pensioners Association. MUNPA’s role is to advocate on behalf of our members, provide social networking opportunities, social events, and to keep our membership informed through email, our newsletter (Your Voice), our website (www.mun.ca/munpa) and our Facebook MUNPA Group.

Funding for these services as well as a part-time staff person comes from membership fees of $2 per month paid by our supporting members. These fees are voluntary and any changes to them are ratified by members at a general meeting as per MUNPA’s bylaws. 

Many of our members become contributing members when they submit their retirement papers by completing the MUNPA membership form that is provided.  If you are not an active MUNPA supporter we would encourage you to sign up so that we can maintain the full slate of MUNPA services currently available.

Am I a Contributing Member?

We get asked this question a lot. There is an easy way to figure it out. Simply look at your monthly pay stub information on my.mun.ca and if it includes a deduction for MUNPA, you are a contributing member.

How do I become a Contributing Member?  

If you are not a contributing member, you can get a deduction form from Human Resources, the MUNPA Office, or get a copy of the form here: MUNPA membership form 02-2025. A second option is to send MUN HR an email with a request to pay MUNPA membership fees by payroll deduction. You can also copy the following text into an email, fill in the necessary information, and send to Human Resources at myhr@mun.ca and copy to MUNPA at munpa@mun.ca .
