The Membership Process

Interested in a receiving customized unemployment program proposal for your agency?

Congratulations on taking the first step to exploring if your current unemployment program is the best one for your agency. As an executive of your agency, it is your fiscal responsibility to provide your board with a sound budget that best maximizes your available resources.

The unemployment professionals at 501(c) Agencies Trust are here to provide you,
at no cost, with a detailed analysis of your current program alongside with your other options.

Steps to the evaluation process:

1. Complete and return the evaluation form by email or fax (located on the form.)

a. If you are currently paying state SUI taxes, we recommend you return the evaluation form 3-4 months prior to your state deadline to give yourself, and your board, ample time to make a thoughtful decision.

b. If you are currently reimbursing, there is no deadline to making a switch.

2. We will call you immediately to acknowledge receipt and set up a time to discuss your agency.

3. Within 24-48 hours, we should have a customized proposal and program recommendations ready to review with you by webinar (or in person).

4. If it makes sense for your agency to join the 501(c) Agencies Trust Unemployment Program, we will provide you with all the necessary paperwork and contracts.

5. If you need a Talking Points presentation for your board meeting, we will be happy to provide.  (We will also be happy to call in or do the presentation in person for your board.)

6. After final approval by your agency, you will return the contracts and paperwork to us.  We will file all necessary state paperwork on your behalf.

7. Once you become a Trust member, you will receive a complete training session on implementing the Trust program from our membership department.
