Frequently asked questions about
joining the Trust
Find answers to common questions about enrolling in the Trust.
How do I determine if the Trust makes sense for my organization?
Anyone can join the Trust, but it makes the most sense for organizations with 10 or more employees and a gross annual payroll of at least $500,000. Take the self-assessment survey to determine if the Trust could benefit your nonprofit.
When should I begin the enrollment process?
Every state has a one-time annual deadline to make the transition from taxpayer to reimbursing employer. You can find your state's deadline by clicking your state on the state info map. We suggest that you complete the evaluation form at least three months before the deadline so you have plenty of time for internal decision making.
My state's deadline is Nov. 30. Can I join now?
The Trust has an early enrollment option. If you send your enrollment papers and enrollment fee three months prior to the state deadline, you can begin using the HR Services immediately. If you have an upcoming layoff, you can also work with claims management to plan that layoff for minimum liability.
