1. NONPROFIT EMPLOYERS
Nonprofit organizations finance their unemployment liability by either (1) paying unemployment taxes on the taxable wages of
their employees (contributing) or (2) making a specific prior election to reimburse the UIA for any unemployment benefits paid to
their former employees (reimbursing). A nonprofit organization that does not elect to be reimbursing will be, by default,
contributing.
To elect contributing status, check this box:
and skip paragraphs A – D below.
To elect reimbursing status, see paragraphs A – D.
A. Nonprofit employers electing reimbursing status must provide the UIA with a copy of the documentation from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) granting 501(c)(3) status.
Check this box if you elect to be a reimbursing employer. Attach a copy of your IRS 501(c)(3) documentation.
Failure to check this box will result in the establishment of your liability as a contributing employer.
B. If you are a nonprofit employer electing reimbursing status, enter
$
the amount (or estimate) of your gross annual payroll
C. Bonding Requirements.
Section 13a of the Michigan Employment Security (MES) Act requires that nonprofit
employers electing reimbursing status on or after December 21, 1989, and that have, or expect to have, a gross payroll of
more than $100,000 during any calendar year must notify the UIA of that fact immediately and must provide a surety
bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other banking device approved by the UIA, in an amount to be determined by the
UIA to secure the employer's obligations under the MES Act. If you exceed $100,000 in gross payroll in a later year, you
are obligated to notify the UIA, and provide the bond at that time.
If your organization is funded more than 50 percent by a grant, list the source and duration of the grant.
