Questions about this bond
Can an outside provider need bonding?
Yes, if it or its employees handle plan funds or property and no exemption applies.
Is three years a higher limit?
It describes duration. Confirm the required amount for the plan separately.
Can fiduciary liability insurance satisfy bonding?
No. It addresses breaches of fiduciary duties and does not satisfy ERISA fidelity bonding.
