What this bond does

The bond serves to protect both insurers domiciled in Nebraska and the insureds whose funds are managed by the MGA. It provides a mechanism for individuals to recover damages if they sustain an injury due to the MGA's failure to perform duties in conformity with state statutes and administrative rules.

Who needs it
This bond is intended for entities or individuals applying for an MGA license with the Nebraska Department of Insurance who perform services for insurers licensed in the state or represent Nebraska-domiciled insurers regarding risks outside the state.
Who it protects
This is a three-party surety bond. It protects the State of Nebraska as the obligee, as well as specific insureds and insurers impacted by the MGA's operations. The bond guarantees the faithful and lawful conduct of the principal and their employees in accordance with the Managing General Agents Act.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. 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.

Licensing and Compliance Obligations

To obtain an MGA license in Nebraska, applicants must comply with the Managing General Agents Act, specifically Nebraska Revised Statute Section 44-4903 et seq. The Director of Insurance requires this bond to ensure that the MGA conducts business lawfully and remains accountable for the funds they handle.

The obligation remains in continuous effect once issued, provided the MGA follows all applicable rules. If the surety decides to cancel the bond, they must provide 60 days of written notice to both the Principal and the Director of Insurance.

Bond Conditions and Liability

The surety’s aggregate liability is limited to the specific dollar amount stipulated on the bond form. Any person sustaining an injury covered under the bond provisions has the legal right to bring an action in their own name to recover damages.

The bond is intended to cover services performed by the MGA with respect to risks located in Nebraska or services performed for an insurer domiciled in the state. The principal and their heirs, administrators, and successors are bound jointly and severally to the performance of these duties.

Filing and Execution Procedures

The bond must be properly executed by the Principal and the Surety, including signatures of authorized representatives and witnesses. It must specify the exact amount of coverage and the effective date of the bond.

Once executed, the document is submitted to the Nebraska Department of Insurance to support the license application. Applicants must ensure the bond reflects their accurate business information as it is a core component of the state licensure process.
