What is this bond?

An ERISA fidelity bond is a specialized type of surety coverage that protects employee benefit plans against losses caused by acts of fraud or dishonesty. It guarantees that plan participants' funds are safeguarded from theft or mismanagement by individuals who handle the plan's assets. While federal in nature, this coverage applies to businesses and plan officials operating in Louisiana that manage qualifying benefit plans.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for plan administrators, trustees, and any other fiduciaries who physically handle funds or other property of an employee benefit plan. Louisiana employers, unions, and third-party administrators managing qualifying retirement, health, or welfare plans generally need to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

The federal government requires this bond to protect the financial interests of plan participants and their beneficiaries from internal malfeasance. It ensures a financial safety net is available if a fiduciary commits fraudulent or dishonest acts involving the plan's funds. Because specific requirements vary by plan type and size, applicants must verify exact coverage mandates with the regulating agency.
