New Mexico nonprofits! Did you know your unemployment tax cost has increased by 101% since 2009!

New Mexico

What do state unemployment taxes (SUTA), increased wage bases, and claim overpayment rates mean to your nonprofit? These factors could mean less money for your nonprofit organization’s cause.

101% 2009-2015 Increased Tax Cost

Factors used in calculating employer unemployment rates have increased; therefore doubling the average unemployment tax cost per employee from $232 in 2009 to $466 by 2015.

$56 Million Claim Unemployment Claim Overpayments

New Mexico’s April 2014 – March 2015 unemployment claim overpayment rate was 31.478% (the highest in the nation), equaling over $56 million.

$24,100 2016 Wage Base

New Mexico’s unemployment wage base increased from $23,400 in 2015 to $24,100 in 2016; therefore increasing the wages on which employers pay SUTA on.

We completed a thorough evaluation of cash savings to our agency before taking advantage of this wonderful benefit and it has been a very wise decision. Our experience with the processes from accounting to claims have been professional, expeditious and easy.

The Ensight Skills Center has enjoyed working with First Nonprofit for several years. We are enrolled in their Unemployment Savings Program and although we have not required a lot of intervention, there have been a few times. I know others have dealt with the same problem of unemployment fraud over the last year and in our case, a call to First Nonprofit (they actually answer their phones) cleared up the issue. They also sent us a letter to send to all our employees telling them what they needed to do to prevent this in the future and protect themselves. What a relief! Over the years if I have questions or concerns, they are happy to listen, advise and help if they can. Another BIG advantage of using First Nonprofit is that all the money that is paid into the Unemployment Savings Program lives on my balance sheet as an asset. The money continues to be Ensight’s not the governments. First Nonprofit has certainly given me peace of mind.
