The PSAB Unemployment Compensation Plan is a wonderful program that provides Unemployment Compensation coverage to more than 15,000 municipal employees statewide. Contributory means paying a flat percentage rate each quarter to the State. PSAB's Plan pays the State for claims and provides any necessary administration or legal support to the municipality.
Reimbursable employers join the Plan because it eliminates risk and provides budget stability.
To join the Plan, your municipality must be a member of PSAB, and become a reimbursable employer. This requires filing forms with the State. PSAB supplies all necessary forms to do this. If you already are a reimbursable employer you can join the Plan at the beginning of any quarter.
