UST - Unemployment Services Trust
Request your no-obligation 2-year savings projection today! Use 2018CNC as the priority code.
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, certified HR guidance and audits of state charges.
Compared to the average cost of an unemployment claim for employers nationwide, UST members experience an average of 55% in savings per claim. These savings can then be put toward fulfilling organizational missions, including building assets to fund programs and to enhance outreach.
Just last year, UST helped their Center for Non-Profits’ participants save $474,386 in unemployment claims costs!
UST participation provides exclusive access to:
- Long term savings compared to state unemployment taxes
- One-on-One claims advice and e-Filing capabilities
- Live HR Hotline and 200+ online training courses
- Thousands of HR forms, documents, templates and checklists
- CareerArc’s award-winning outplacement and career transition recourses
To find out more, see this flyer (in PDF).
In 2015 UST found $6.8 million in unemployment cost savings for over 500 of its member organizations! The UST program—which is available to nonprofits with 10 or more employees to help control unemployment-related HR costs—includes an annual review of its 2,000+ nonprofit accounts using an advanced actuarial model.
Unlike the state unemployment tax system or some private insurance where taxes and premiums cannot be refunded (even when benefits paid out are far below what the employer paid in), UST instead allows for cash back when an organization has a positive unemployment claim experience.
In 2015, in addition to normal annual savings, twelve of the currently enrolled Center for Non-Profits’ members received a total of over $395,000 in cash back!
With 95% of your nonprofit peers willing to recommend the UST program, aren’t you curious to hear what these nonprofit leaders have to say about the Trust? Listen to the testimonials below:
