Human Resources
What is UST?
The Unemployment Services Trust is a grantor trust created by and for nonprofit organizations. Rather than subsidizing the unemployment claims of for-profit companies, UST members pool their resources to pay only the claims incurred by their members. Elected governing Trustees are CEOs and CFOs of member organizations.
How Much Can I Save?
UST Members save 50% off their unemployment taxes their first year of participation in the Trust. A typical member continues to save approximately 30%.
Who Is Eligible?
A Federal law enacted in 1970 entitles 501 (c)(3) organizations to opt out of the state unemployment tax system. To continue low rates, the Unemployment Services Trust's underwriters accept only organizations with reasonable claims experience.
How Does It Work?
Eligible organizations opt out of their state's unemployment tax system. They make quarterly contributions directly to the Trust. The Trust handles claims payments for the organization.
