Iowa Nonprofit Unemployment: Are nonprofit employees eligible for unemployment in Iowa?

In Iowa, nonprofit employees may be eligible for unemployment benefits if they meet certain criteria. To be eligible for unemployment benefits in Iowa, an individual must have worked for a certain amount of time and earned a minimum amount of wages during a “base period” that is determined by the Iowa Workforce Development.

Nonprofit organizations are generally subject to the same rules as other employers in Iowa when it comes to paying unemployment taxes and providing unemployment benefits. However, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations have a unique savings option to paying state unemployment taxes. First Nonprofit (FNP) helps nonprofit employers utilize this option with the Iowa Workforce Development, which can save organizations as much as 50% annually! FNP programs also include the monitoring of unemployment claim filings to assure accuracy and avoid overpayment, duplication, and/or fraud.
