What is this bond?

An ERISA fidelity bond is a type of commercial policy that protects employee benefit and retirement plans from financial losses due to acts of fraud or dishonesty. It guarantees that the plan's assets are safeguarded against theft, embezzlement, or forgery committed by individuals who manage those funds. Coverage requirements vary, so plan sponsors should verify exact figures with federal regulators or apply online for specific details.

Who needs it?

This policy is generally needed by plan administrators, trustees, officers, and any fiduciaries who handle funds or property of an employee benefit plan in Michigan and nationwide. It applies to businesses managing employer-sponsored programs like 401(k)s, pensions, and health plans. Any individual with direct access to or decision-making power over these funds typically requires this coverage.

Why is it required?

Federal regulators require this bond to safeguard the retirement and health benefits of participating employees and their beneficiaries. By mandating this policy, the government ensures there is a secure source of recovery if plan officials misappropriate or steal the funds. It provides essential financial protection and maintains the integrity of employer-sponsored benefit plans.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to accurately calculate the total amount of plan funds handled to determine the correct coverage needed.
  • Confusing an ERISA fidelity bond with fiduciary liability insurance, which offers a different type of protection.
  • Neglecting to update the policy's coverage limit as the total value of the employee benefit plan grows.
  • Not verifying specific bonding requirements and exemptions with the appropriate federal regulatory agency.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an ERISA policy cost?

Premiums vary based on the required policy amount, the size of the benefit plan, and the applicant's profile. Please apply online with Noah Insurance Agency or call us at 814-718-0060 for an exact quote.

How do I know the exact bond amount I need for my plan?

Coverage requirements vary depending on the total funds handled by the plan's fiduciaries at the start of the plan year. You must verify the exact required figures with the appropriate federal regulatory agency.

Is an ERISA fidelity bond the same as fiduciary liability insurance?

No, they serve different purposes. An ERISA bond protects the plan itself from fraud and dishonesty by those handling the funds, while fiduciary liability insurance protects the fiduciaries from claims alleging breaches of duty.
