Nonprofit Insurance Programs Offer
Financial Savings

Many 501(c)3's and government entities are paying too much for their Unemployment Compensation Insurance. There is now the opportunity to work with a local company to lower your costs. There are two programs to consider: Bonded Service Program provides a fixed cost alternative based exclusively on your organization's unemployment profile, thereby eliminating the shared risk expenses. Over 99% of the entities in this program never leave it. The Unemployment Savings Program is the first nonprofit unemployment savings program allowing its members to effectively manage their own unemployment claims, eliminating the pooling costs of other industries.
