Cost Saving Benefits
■ 25% discount on Council of Accreditation (COA) accreditation fees.
■ Participation in a Workers' Compensation Group Rating Program with www.compmgt.com. This program has saved member agencies thousands of dollars each year. Member agencies typically save between 25-90% on their Workers' Compensation rate depending on the number of employees and claims history. In addition, this program provides consultation to agencies who have experienced a negative claim history to help design and implement risk reduction strategies that return the agency to eligibility for our discounted program. For more information, contact Kathy Redmond at 1-800-825-6755 Ext. 2409.
■ Participation in the OACCA-sponsored Unemployment Services Trust Program. Your agency as a nonprofit has a unique savings opportunity not available to your for-profit counterparts: You have the option of withdrawing from the state unemployment tax system and becoming a reimbursing employer. This means rather than being taxed by the state for unemployment insurance, your nonprofit simply reimburses the state for legitimate unemployment benefits paid to your former employee. In addition to the inherent savings nonprofits experience simply by becoming reimbursing employers, the claims services of TALX Employer Services saves nonprofits even more money by helping to disqualify and defer claims, as well as by crediting back money to the employer through audits.
