NAUIAP MEMBERSHIP IS EASIER THAN EVER

NAUIAP offers Individual Active and Associate memberships for $50 per year and states can sign up their employees for a flat fee, depending on the number of appeals professionals enrolled.

• $250/year to enroll one to 15 members;
• $500/year to enroll 16-25 members
• $1,000/year to enroll 26 to 75 members;
• $1,500/year to enroll 76 or more members.

By taking advantage of this option, many States will recognize considerable savings over our traditional yearly individual membership fee. For example, if your State currently covers individual membership dues for twenty-five hearing examiners, it would save $750 each year by switching to this new means of enrollment.

To apply for a state membership online, simply fill out the membership application and pay by credit card. Memberships may also be purchased via purchase order (PO) by clicking on “Membership Registration by Purchase Order” and filling out the form. If you purchase a membership via purchase order, NAUIAP’s Treasurer will contact you to make payment arrangements.

Membership in NAUIAP puts you in touch with the most vibrant group of unemployment insurance leaders across the country.  We provide the Navigator newsletter three times per year includes articles on emerging unemployment insurance appeals issues, and we also provide professional development, webinar-based training, and continuing legal education.  In addition to these benefits, NAUIAP members also have access to our database of materials from several years of previous conferences and networking opportunities with UI appeals professionals throughout the nation.


Active/Full membership is for an individual who regularly performs at least one of the following functions: decides lower and/or higher authority UI cases; as a lower or higher authority employee, assists in decision issuance or defense of decisions in court; directly supervises lower or higher authority hearing officers. Active/full members have voting rights.

Associate membership is for an individual who is a former member no longer eligible for active membership; a governmental employee involved in legal affairs related to the UI appeals process; involved in the administration of UI appeals; a non-governmental party involved in the administration of UI appeals and/or representing/advising claimants and/or employers in UI appeals hearings/matters. Associate members do not have voting rights.

The annual NAUIAP conference has become a national event that provides a rich educational experience for those who attend. The agenda of each conference always addresses the difficult and “hot” topics facing the UI program.
