NIGP 95391: Unemployment Insurance

NIGP 95391 Unemployment Insurance, an Item code, encompasses employee benefit program administration and brokerage services that state and local governments purchase to manage comprehensive benefit offerings for public-sector workforces. Based on recent solicitations, the scope spans placement and ongoing administration of medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and ancillary coverage; broker-of-record consulting; plan design; claims administration; employee assistance and wellness programs; and coordination with third-party administrators and stop-loss carriers.

Issuing bodies include large county systems (Greenville County, South Carolina), major school districts (St. Louis Public Schools District, Clarke County School District in Georgia), and other municipal and county benefit programs seeking to consolidate benefit procurement under professional brokerage and consulting management.
