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
Does handling require physical possession of cash?
No. Power to transfer or control plan property can also create a bonding obligation, subject to exemptions.
Is three years a coverage amount?
It describes duration. The required sum must be determined separately for your plan.
Can fiduciary liability insurance replace the bond?
No. It does not satisfy ERISA's fidelity bonding requirement for covered fraud or dishonesty losses.
