Nonprofits Receive Over $3.8 Million in Cash Back Through UST's Claims Management Services

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- UST, a program dedicated to providing nonprofits with workforce solutions that help reduce costs so that they can focus more on their missions, announces that it will be dispersing $3,869,249.80 in cash back to more than 532 of their program participants. After accruing all of their claims savings, audited state returns and cash back throughout the last year, UST members will have $30.1 million filtered back into their nonprofits' pockets.

UST aims to provide 501(c)(3) nonprofits with the latest HR training, outplacement resources and unemployment claims management tools they need to stay compliant with the state and federal laws, while also helping to reduce paperwork burdens.

One of UST's most popular programs, UST Trust, helps reimbursing employers build a reserve?protecting their money on the front end?so they don't experience the steep ups and downs in their cash flow due to unexpected unemployment claims. Unlike their for-profit counterparts, UST Trust participants can receive cash back through UST when their organization is able to reduce their unemployment claims and still maintain a healthy reserve balance for future claims.

"The $3.8 million we are returning to UST participants can offer their organizations the flexibility they need to execute additional mission-driven initiatives," said Donna Groh, Executive Director of UST. "Here at UST, we are pleased to be able to continue returning funds to our members and further supporting the communities in which they serve." 

These refunds are just part of how UST serves its mission of "Providing nonprofits with workforce solutions that reduce costs and strengthen their missions."
