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.

Questions about this bond
Must someone physically hold cash to be a handler?
No. Authority to control or move plan property can create a bonding obligation, subject to applicable exemptions.
Is there a fixed amount for these options?
No amount is stated here. Confirm the required sum for your plan separately from choosing the one-year or three-year term.
Can fiduciary liability insurance replace bonding?
No. It concerns breaches of fiduciary responsibilities and does not satisfy the ERISA fidelity bonding requirement.
