What is this bond?

The Minnesota Self-Insurance Program Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for employers or entities that choose to self-insure their liability or workers' compensation obligations. It ensures that self-insured entities will fulfill their financial responsibilities for covered claims if an injury or loss occurs. If the self-insured entity defaults on its claim payments, the bond provides funds to cover these protected obligations.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically needed by Minnesota employers and businesses that opt out of traditional commercial insurance policies in favor of self-insuring their own risk. It applies to qualified companies participating in the state's official self-insurance programs. Entities should verify their specific self-insurance eligibility and bond requirements with the appropriate state agency.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect workers and the general public from the potential financial insolvency of a self-insured entity. It guarantees that funds will be available to pay out valid claims even if the business goes bankrupt or fails to pay. Ultimately, it preserves the integrity of the state's self-insurance system by transferring the default risk to a surety company.
