What this bond does
New Jersey's official packet describes a bond conditioned on payment of obligations under the employer's private plan. Benefits in a self-insured plan are provided by the employer, rather than an insurer or union; this is not a union fringe-contribution request or a personal disability policy.
- Who needs it
- The employer arranging requested security for a self-insured private plan under the New Jersey Temporary Disability Benefits Law.
- Who it protects
- Use the required instrument's exact legal obligee. The packet directs security to the Division of Temporary Disability Insurance; that filing direction is not a complete printed beneficiary entry. Private-plan benefit security differs from ERISA plan-asset dishonesty protection and construction payment bonds.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does every self-insured employer need a bond?
The packet describes security alternatives and a Division-determined financial-stability exemption. Use the actual security request; this page does not determine exemption or approval.
Is this an employee disability-benefit claim application?
This bond application is for the employer's requested private-plan security. An employee's benefit claim and the employer's plan administration are separate processes.
Is the plan the same as workers' compensation?
The official packet concerns New Jersey temporary disability private plans and describes non-work-related disability benefits. Do not treat this security request as workers' compensation self-insurance approval.
How do I apply for the bond?
Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Provide the employer and complete Department security request. Check any issued bond, complete required execution and submit it as directed. The Department's acceptance and private-plan approval remain separate.
