501(c) Agencies Trust

What is the Trust?

What began with 21 nonprofit agencies in 1982 has grown to a Trust that enables more than 1,600 members to save money on unemployment costs without increasing risk.

501(c) Agencies Trust is a national organization that helps nonprofits leave the state unemployment tax system and become reimbursing employers. As the first organization to recognize this opportunity, we set the standard for unemployment savings and service.

Under federal law, you can opt out of the state unemployment insurance (SUI) tax system and simply reimburse the state for any paid benefits. Instead of paying a flat state tax rate, we can help you build a reserve account that you own and that earns interest through sound investing. 501(c) Agencies Trust monitors and handles all your unemployment claims and reimburses the state for any paid claims.
