How a fidelity bond works

Fidelity protection responds to covered dishonest acts. The form identifies whose money or property is protected, the covered persons, and the applicable limits.

What this bond does

The offering addresses covered employee dishonesty, theft and fraud involving company money, securities and property.

Who needs it
Apply as the business or organization seeking protection for its own loss.
Who is protected
The employer is the protected party. California's home-care client-protection and escrow-deductible requirements involve separate forms.

Choose from 2 options

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

The coverage amount describes a limit of protection, not the price. Match the requested protection and covered persons to the actual fidelity form. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Start with the requirement you are trying to meet

If you have a CDSS home-care bond request or a DFPI escrow-deductible request, compare it with the specifically named listing. General employee dishonesty protection should not be assumed to satisfy those documents.

For your business's own asset protection, choose a term and use Purchase Now. RLI opens in a new tab to review limits, covered people and dates.

  1. Gather your legal business details and employee count.
  2. Have existing fidelity documents and any written bond request available.

Questions about this bond

Is this HCS 402 coverage for home-care clients?

Do not assume that. Use the separate Home Care Organization Employee Dishonesty Bond listing to compare the client-protection requirement.

Does it cover the fidelity deductible for an escrow agent?

The escrow-deductible bond is separately listed and tied to a specific DFPI form.

How do I confirm this coverage?

Review the issued documents and effective date for your business. The application alone is not proof of protection.
