UST - Unemployment Services Trust

Currently accepting enrollments for 2013

UST is an alternative to the state unemployment insurance system, helping nonprofit organizations save money on their unemployment costs through lower rates and expert claims monitoring. This savings can then be put toward fulfilling organizational missions, including building assets to fund programs and to enhance outreach.

Member Benefit -

• Eligible non-profits average 25% savings over the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) system in the first two years, with additional savings possible in later years.
• Any unused funds you put into the systemare turned into equity for your organization!
• Each organization is assigned a dedicated claims expert who will work with you to process and monitor all claims.
• Switch before the January 31 enrollment date and avoid paying the increased NJ unemployment insurance tax from that date on.
  

  Note: State unemployment programs have one annual enrollment period. The next cycle begins Feb. 1, 2013. We recomend beginning the application as soon as possible; UST requires time to process applications in advance of the deadline to withdraw from the state system.
