What is this bond?

A New York Self-Insurer's Workers' Compensation Bond is a financial guarantee providing security that a self-insured employer will fulfill its obligation to pay workers' compensation benefits. This bond acts as a safety net, ensuring that injured employees receive their rightful medical and wage replacement benefits even if the employer faces financial difficulties.

Who needs it?

Businesses and employers in New York who are approved to self-insure their workers' compensation liabilities typically need this bond. It is required by the state as a condition of maintaining a self-insured status instead of purchasing a traditional workers' compensation insurance policy.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect the state's workforce and the overall workers' compensation system. It guarantees that funds will always be available to cover legitimate employee injury claims if a self-insured employer defaults, goes bankrupt, or otherwise fails to pay required benefits.
