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 plan administrators arranging bonding for ERISA-covered asset handlers, subject to exemptions.
Who is protected
The plan is the insured party. The bond does not replace fiduciary liability insurance or provide 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.

Identify handling activities before applying

Discuss everyone with authority over plan property with your adviser. Handling can include power to transfer assets or direct disbursements, and outside providers may also need bonding unless exempt.

Determine the required amount independently of the 12-month or 36-month term; no amount is listed here. Federal ERISA rules govern the requirement. Oregon's catalog association adds no separate state mandate.

Questions about this bond

Must a handler physically hold cash?

No. Authority to control or move plan property can also create a bonding obligation, subject to exemptions.

Is a three-year term a larger limit?

It describes duration. Confirm the amount required for your plan separately.

Can fiduciary liability insurance replace fidelity bonding?

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