Employers in 18 U.S. states must post collateral with their state unemployment department to opt out of the traditional unemployment tax system. Great American can place bonds in states where a surety bond is required to register as a reimbursing employer. You can choose to purchase a standalone surety bond or participate in one of our other unemployment programs.
