Unemployment Savings Programs: Risk-Free, Fixed-Cost Solutions

How does it work?

The Unemployment Savings Program is specifically designed for your organization.
Annual fees are based exclusively on your unemployment experience and employment profile. There are no shared risks or expenses.
Improve cash flow by making equal, fixed quarterly payments to your reserve account.
While most SUI tax payments are made during the first and second quarters of the calendar year, our program members make four equal quarterly payments.
Build a reserve account your organization actually owns.
Unlike the taxes paid into your SUI tax account with the state, this interest-bearing reserve account is yours and will be returned to you if you should ever decide to withdraw from the program. Your account balance can be considered an asset and recognized as such in your organization’s financial records.
Your organization is protected against high unemployment years with stop-loss insurance that caps your financial liability.
If you lose funding and need to restructure your organization or reduce staff, our stop-loss insurance limits your liability.
Professional unemployment claims administration and cost control is included.
Receive services from unemployment insurance professionals familiar with your state’s laws and statutory requirements to assist you with claims validation, representation at all unemployment appeal hearings, audit of benefit charges, and more.

Why choose First Nonprofit?

Our unique programs are tailored specifically to you. There are no pooled losses or shared expenses; stop-loss insurance limits are calculated for each member based on their size and experience; an individual organization’s coverage limits are not impacted by any other member’s negative claim experience.

We offer true insurance coverage, not group reserves or joint and several liability exposure. Every dollar paid into your reserve account pays for claims charged only by your former employees. In addition, we have access to claims administrators across the country, allowing you to access service that fits your organization’s needs.

Testimonials

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.
