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
Can an outside provider need bonding?
Yes, if it or its employees handle the plan's funds or property and no exemption applies.
Does a three-year term set the amount?
No. Confirm the sum required for your plan independently of duration.
Will fiduciary liability insurance satisfy the requirement?
No. It concerns breaches of fiduciary duties and does not satisfy the ERISA fidelity bonding requirement.
