AUREUS - New URS Member Portal

On March 30, 2026, URS is launching an upgraded member portal to make managing your URS benefits easier and more secure. As URS transitions to the new member portal, account activity will be temporarily unavailable beginning the week of March 16 until March 30, 2026.

You won't be able to make account changes or transactions (such as Savings Plans withdrawals, transfers, or trades) during this time. URS Customer Service will still be available, but they won't be able to process account changes or transactions during this blackout period. Plan ahead to complete any transactions (such as Savings Plan withdrawals and trades) or make any account changes before the blackout period.

The "Classic myURS Portal" will be available for limited, read-only information, such as 2025 tax documents, during the blackout and through mid-April. Log in with your previous username and password.

This video walks you through how to get your new URS Member ID and log in to the new portal beginning March 30, 2026.

Planning for the Future

Understanding and knowing your retirement benefit options is helpful in planning for your future after you have retired from a career with the State of Utah. Eligible employees can start investing and planning for retirement when they begin working for the state.

If you are a new hire, you are most likely part of the Tier II retirement system. The Tier II retirement system has two different retirement plans to choose from, the Hybrid Plan (pension & 401k) and the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan (401k only). You have up to one year to make your final election between the Hybrid Plan and the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan. Facts and circumstances specific to your personal situation should be carefully considered before you make your choice. If no election is made, you automatically become a member of the Hybrid Plan. This video gives excellent information about the retirement plan choice that Tier II retirement system participants need to make during their first year of employment. Tier II Retirement Plan Portability

Tier I retirement systems are reserved for URS retirement plan participants who were active in the Utah Retirement Systems before July 2011.

It’s important to know which system you are eligible for to help you understand and explore your benefits. If you are unsure if you are Tier I or Tier II, contact HR at (801) 238-7909.

Online Access: Eligible state employees may access the Utah Retirement Systems (URS) website to view information related to retirement accounts, update beneficiary information, make changes to contributions, and update their personal information. To learn how to create a myURS account, watch this quick tutorial.

If you're a new justice or judge, you may review the Tier I Retirement System Highlights to learn more about your retirement system.
