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 a handler physically hold cash?
No. Authority to move or control plan property can also create a bonding obligation, subject to exemptions.
Is a three-year term a higher amount?
It describes duration. Confirm the sum required for the plan independently.
Can fiduciary liability insurance satisfy bonding?
No. It does not satisfy ERISA's fidelity bonding requirement.
