UMP was the | '''UMP''' was the '''Unified Membership Plan''' that specified how the [[Libertarian National Committee]] (LNC) and the state parties shared membership and dues. It was terminated in 2005, with the LNC adhering to the termination clause of the contract that left it making diminishing payments for the next year. The following is a description of how the plan existed while it was in effect. Note that the standard for joining the national party is signing the membership oath, not paying money. At the 2006 National Convention, a category 'sustaining member' to identify people who had recently paid money to the party or were life members, and were also members, was created. | ||

Some states follow UMP-II. For UMP and UMP-II states, a member joins both the LNC and the state party with a single check and membership application. Some states are not covered under either version of UMP. For these states, membership in the LNC and the state party are completely separate. | Some states follow UMP-II.

States under UMP-II include the LP of California ([[LPC]]), which has its own procedures for sharing dues with its county parties. The LPC Bylaws maintain a 60/40 split of dues with county LP organizations, where the state party keeps 40% of dues disbursements from LPUS and forwards 60% of the dues to the counties. Following the formula described above, the state keeps $0.20/month for members who have joined in the previous 12 months, and forwards $0.30/month to the county where that member resides. For members who renew after their first 12 months, the state keeps $0.60/month and forwards $0.90/month to the county where the member resides. | States under UMP-II include the LP of California ([[LPC]]), which has its own procedures for sharing dues with its county parties.
