About CUCRA

In 1993 representatives of the retiree associations from the nine University of California campuses and three University-managed DOE laboratories organized the Council of University of California Retirees’ Associations (CUCRA).

Their goal was to provide a single organization that could speak for the many University and laboratory retirees on issues that could affect retiree benefits and privileges. Each campus, Laboratory and Office of the President/Regents retiree association has one representative and one alternate who attend CUCRA meetings twice a year (fall and spring) at the various UC locations.

CUCRA Survey

Survey Open October 1, 2024 - November 1, 2024

UC retirees will soon receive an email asking for participation in a brief, 10-minute online survey of their activities and contributions since working at their UC. This is the third survey sponsored by the Council of UC Retiree Associations (CUCRA), local UC retiree associations, and retiree centers. CUCRA advocates on behalf of all UC retired staff/non-senate academics. The 2020 Survey Report  provides an excellent example of what this will look like.
