UST Expands Program to Address the Needs of Tax-Rated Nonprofit Organizations

We are pleased to announce that TALX Corporation, the third party unemployment claims administrator for UST, has changed its hearings process from “attend per request” to “attend all” for all UST members.

After reviewing data about improved win rates and how the education provided during the process of working with a hearing representative helps further reduce UI costs, the Trustees of UST elected to add this enhanced level of service on June 4th.

A part of the Appellate division, hearing representatives at TALX have an average of 12 years unemployment claims experience and receive a significant amount of training on the nuances of individual state laws and requirements. As such, utilizing a hearing representative provides UST’s members with substantial leverage while planning and preparing for a claims hearing.

Available as a consultant before a claims hearing, and as a representative during the hearing, the hearing representative will assist UST members in:

  • Determining proper witnesses
  • Gathering and submitting documents to the right stakeholders
  • Explaining the hearings process
  • Reviewing with members the type of judge has been assigned to each hearing
  • Preparing members for what to expect during the hearing
  • Addressing direct questions to witnesses
  • Objecting to the Claimant’s cross examination of witnesses
  • Cross examining the Claimant
  • Making closing statements to the judge on behalf of UST members

Although members can elect to not have a hearing representative work with them throughout the claims process, data has consistently shown that while employers who represent themselves have a 57.4% win rate, employers who use a TALX hearing representative throughout the claims hearing process increase their win rate to 72.3%.

While in the past it was necessary for members to request a hearing representative, this upgraded service is now the UST standard and is a benefit of your UST partnership at no additional charge.

For questions or further information about these changes, please contact your TALX Account Manager Garry Koch at gkoch@talx.com or at (614) 658-3007.
