First Nonprofit

Nonprofits typically have fewer unemployment claims; therefore, they often subsidize the state unemployment fund by paying more than necessary. Federal and state laws allow 501(c)(3) organizations to reimburse the state unemployment fund rather than pay the SUI tax before having claims.
FNP's unemployment programs will reduce your unemployment costs if you participate in the state tax system and provide you with a safety net if you have already chosen the reimbursable option.
Participation in FNP programs provides:

• Savings up to 40-60% over the state tax pool
• Fixed annual cost for budgetary certainty
• Options for different coverage levels specific to charter school needs
• Team of unemployment specialists to handle all your UI needs
• Expert claims representation for unemployment hearings and audits
• Access to training and services that can decrease the number of invalid unemployment claims
• No pooling or shared risk
