What this bond does
The bond protects plan assets against covered losses from fraud or dishonesty in handling plan funds or property.
- Who needs it
- Employers and administrators arranging bonding for ERISA-covered plan asset handlers, subject to exemptions.
- Who is protected

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.

Questions about this bond
Must the plan be identified as insured?
Yes. It must be named or otherwise specifically identified as an insured party.
Does a longer term guarantee enough coverage?
The term alone does not establish adequacy. Review the amount and protection as plan circumstances change.
Can fiduciary liability insurance satisfy bonding?
No. It does not satisfy ERISA's fidelity bonding requirement.
