“First Nonprofit was an
easy choice. Bonded Service saved us substantial money and provided professional claims service that relieved our staff of this administrative burden.”

In 2004, nearly 200 nonprofit organizations across the country utilized the Bonded Service Program to lower their SUI costs without facing the uncertainty of reimbursing on their own. These graphs present the aggregate experience in 2004 of these nonprofits in select states, detailing the amount of taxes these organizations would have paid based on their assigned 2004 tax rates, the actual fees paid in our program, the actual unemployment benefits paid to their former employees and the actual savings these employers enjoyed by participating our program.

In all, savings for these Bonded Service Program members reduced their SUI payments by $2.4 million or 26% when compared to the SUI tax option!

 

The amount these employers would have paid in 2004 based on the tax rates assigned to them individually for 2004 by the State. FY 2003 taxable wages for each employer was used to calculate their estimated tax contribution.

The difference between the combined BSC Fees and the SUI taxes for 2004 for participating members in each state.

In all, our participating program members from 18 states saved in excess of $4,000,000 by opting out of the unemployment tax system and utilizing our Bonded Service Program. Also, several program members were already reimbursing prior to opting for the Bonded Service alternative. Though they did not directly reduce their unemployment expense, they have found Bonded Service to be a more cost effective fixed cost option than the SUI tax .
