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 assets against covered fraud or dishonesty by people handling its funds or property.

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 serves a different purpose from fiduciary liability insurance and general business liability coverage.

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.

Review the plan's handling arrangement

Include employees and outside providers with control over plan property when discussing handlers with your adviser. Power to direct transfers or disbursements can matter.

Federal ERISA rules establish the framework; the New Mexico association creates no separate state requirement. Determine the amount independently of the 36-month or 12-month term. No coverage amount is stated for these options here.
