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 bond protects plan funds or property against covered fraud or dishonesty by people who handle those assets.

Who needs it
Plan sponsors and administrators arranging required bonding for ERISA-covered asset handlers, unless an exemption applies.
Who is protected
The plan is insured against covered dishonesty losses. Fiduciary liability insurance and ordinary business liability coverage serve different purposes.

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.

Confirm what the selected term covers

The RLI options show 36 months and 12 months without coverage amounts. Have the plan adviser determine the required amount and any exemptions, then confirm the sum and insured plan during the application.

ERISA bonding rules are federal. Montana is the catalog association, not a separate state requirement. A longer term does not itself increase the amount; review protection as plan circumstances change.

Questions about this bond

Who should the bond identify as insured?

The employee benefit plan must be named or otherwise specifically identified as an insured party.

Is the three-year term a larger limit?
