What do high unemployment rates, increased taxes and negative State Trust Fund Balances mean to your nonprofit? All these statistics mean less money for your cause.
In April 2011, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development owed more than $2 billion to the federal government. This loan was used to pay the excess unemployment claims the state trust fund could not cover.
In order to replenish the trust fund, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development increased factors used in calculating state unemployment tax (SUTA) rates over recent years, therefore increasing the average unemployment tax cost per employee.
The Department of Labor and Workforce Development had a 10.366% average improper payment rate from 2011 to 2014. Over $335 million improper payments were made in 2014 alone.

NYCON members who use First Nonprofit’s programs enjoy enduring savings and improved efficiency. Our association knows that success, because from the beginning, we achieved the same great benefits. Great savings, seamless technology, and responsive service. NYCON highly recommends First Nonprofit’s remarkable unemployment solutions.
We were introduced to First Nonprofit through another housing authority. In our analysis and comparison to what we were paying the State, our first year savings was $5,800 plus. We have been with them since the end of 2008 and I am glad we have been. I consider them an arm of our HR department.
Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
Throughout our membership in the Unemployment Savings Program, First Nonprofit understood our demands, community dynamics, and the importance of seamless services; that allowed us to serve our constituents better.
