What is this bond?

An ERISA policy, often referred to as an ERISA fidelity bond, protects employee benefit plans against financial losses caused by acts of fraud or dishonesty. It acts as a safety net that guarantees plan funds are protected from mismanagement or theft by the individuals entrusted to handle them.

Who needs it?

Any fiduciary or individual who handles funds or property of an employee benefit plan typically needs this coverage. This generally includes plan administrators, trustees, and officers who manage or have direct access to retirement and health plan assets.

Why is it required?

Federal regulators generally require this coverage to ensure that plan participants and beneficiaries are protected from the risk of financial loss. By mandating this policy, the governing obligee ensures there is a guaranteed source of recovery if plan assets are misappropriated. Specific coverage guidelines vary, so applicants must verify their exact requirements with the issuing agency.
