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 three years guarantee enough protection?
The term alone does not establish adequacy. Review the amount and protection as the plan's circumstances change.
Can fiduciary liability insurance replace the bond?
No. It does not satisfy ERISA's fidelity bonding requirement.
