A nonprofit organization changing from the reimbursement to the contributions method must reimburse the Department for benefits paid on wages earned during the time the organization was a reimbursable employer. Example: A nonprofit organization was a reimbursable employer during 2003 and 2004. For 2005 the organization elects to pay contributions. If a former employee receives benefits in 2005 based on wages paid by the organization in 2004, the organization must reimburse the Department for the benefits based on the 2004 wages. The organization must also pay contributions on the 2005 wages. If this organization changes back to the reimbursement method in 2007, any benefits received by a former employee which were based on wages paid in 2006 would not be subject to reimbursement since contributions have been paid on those wages.
