What is this bond?

An ERISA fidelity bond is a specific type of surety policy designed to protect employee benefit plans from losses caused by acts of fraud or dishonesty. It guarantees that plan participants and beneficiaries are safeguarded against the theft or misappropriation of funds by those who manage the plan's assets.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for individuals who act as fiduciaries or who directly handle funds for employee benefit plans, such as 401(k) or pension programs. Business owners, plan administrators, and trustees overseeing these plans must secure this coverage to protect the assets.

Why is it required?

The federal government requires this bond to ensure that retirement and health plan funds are protected from mismanagement, embezzlement, or theft by plan officials. By mandating this coverage, the obligee ensures a layer of financial security exists for the employees relying on these benefit plans.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Forgetting to adjust the bond coverage as the value of the employee benefit plan's funds fluctuates over time.
  • ⚠Not listing the employee benefit plan itself as the named insured on the bond document.
