UST helps nonprofit organizations save money on their unemployment costs through lower rates and expert claims monitoring. 501(c)(3) organizations have an exclusive advantage over their for-profit counterparts: Did you know that as a nonprofit you can opt out of the state’s tax-rated unemployment system and only pay dollar for dollar for the unemployment claims paid out to former employees? When you directly reimburse the state dollar for dollar for your former employee’s unemployment claims you are not subsidizing other employers that have higher unemployment claims. Unlike state unemployment taxes, your contributions to UST remain as an asset on your organization’s books.
