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

Who needs it
Plan sponsors and administrators arranging required bonding for ERISA-covered asset handlers, unless an exemption applies.
Who is protected
The plan is insured. This bond does not replace fiduciary liability insurance or general business liability protection.

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.

Confirm the insured plan and required sum

Have your adviser determine the amount from the funds handled and the plan's circumstances. Check that the plan is named or otherwise specifically identified as an insured party.

The 12-month and 36-month RLI choices list no amount here. Choose the duration separately from the sum. Federal ERISA rules govern the requirement; Utah's association with this page creates no separate state rule.

Questions about this bond

Does every plan need this bond?

No. Federal exceptions and exemptions can apply. Your adviser can assess the plan and handling arrangement.

Does a longer term increase the amount?

Selecting three years does not itself increase the amount. Confirm the required sum independently.

Will fiduciary liability insurance satisfy bonding?

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