Section 801 - Nonprofit organizations(a) As used in this section, "nonprofit organization" means any corporation, community chest, fund, or foundation for which services are performed that constitute employment by compulsory coverage under Section 608.(b) A nonprofit organization may, in lieu of the contributions required of employers, elect to finance its liability for unemployment compensation benefits, extended duration benefits, and federal-state extended benefits coverage under this division by any method of financing coverage that is permitted under Section 803.(c) Any election under Section 803 of a method for financing coverage under this section shall, upon the written approval of the director, take effect with respect to services performed from and after the first day of the calendar quarter in which the election is filed with the director, and shall continue in effect for not less than five full calendar years. Thereafter the election under Section 803 may be terminated as of January 1 of any calendar year only if the nonprofit organization, on or before the 31st day of January of that year, has filed with the director a written application for termination. The director may for good cause waive the requirement that a written application for termination shall be filed on or before the 31st day of January. In no event shall the director approve any method of financing coverage by an election under Section 803 that would establish any different method of financing coverage for any calendar quarter where an election for coverage made by a nonprofit organization under Section 702.1 elects a method of financing coverage permitted under Section 803. (d) To the extent permitted by federal law, a nonprofit organization which elects reimbursement financing pursuant to this section and which has a favorable reserve account on the date the election takes effect shall not be liable for the reimbursement of benefits pursuant to the election to the extent that the cost of benefits does not exceed the amount in the reserve account. Notwithstanding Section 1029, the reserve account shall not be canceled and the cost of benefits otherwise chargeable to the organization shall be charged to the reserve account until it is exhausted.(e) Except as inconsistent with the provisions of this section, the provisions of this division and authorized regulations shall apply to any matter arising pursuant to this section.Ca.
