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 employee benefit plan funds or property against covered fraud or dishonesty by people handling those assets.

Who needs it
Employers and administrators arranging bonding for ERISA-covered plan asset handlers, subject to applicable exemptions.
Who is protected
The plan is the insured party. The bond does not replace fiduciary liability insurance or cover general business liability.

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.

Match the application to the plan's needs

Determine the amount with your plan adviser using the funds handled and relevant plan circumstances. The RLI choices show 36 months or 12 months without stated amounts.

The New Hampshire association does not create a separate state ERISA rule. Confirm the insured plan, covered handling activities and dates in the application under the federal framework.

Questions about this bond

Must the plan be identified as insured?

Yes. It must be named or otherwise specifically identified as an insured party.

Is three years a higher coverage limit?

The label states duration. Confirm the required amount independently.

Does fiduciary liability insurance satisfy bonding?

No. It addresses breaches of fiduciary responsibilities and does not satisfy ERISA fidelity bonding.
