What this bond does
The Department of Consumer Protection says homemaker-companion agencies must maintain a surety bond or insurance with at least $10,000 in coverage. Its guidance specifies theft by an agency employee from someone receiving the agency's services.
- Who needs it
- Apply as the homemaker-companion agency providing nonmedical services. This is the agency's coverage requirement, not an individual companion's personal bond.
- Who is protected
- The requirement addresses theft from the person receiving services. A bond protecting only your agency's own money or property should not be assumed to satisfy it.

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
Will ordinary employee theft coverage for my agency do?
Check whose loss it protects. DCP's requirement concerns theft from clients, so employer-only protection should not be assumed to meet it.
Is a bond the only permitted route?
DCP's current application guidance says a surety bond or insurance with at least $10,000 in coverage. Check the proposed document against its client-theft requirement.
Can I start providing services after buying the bond?
DCP requires agency registration before doing business. Obtaining coverage addresses one part of that process and does not grant registration.
