ERISA Fidelity Bond
The Hartford's ERISA Fidelity Bond helps your clients comply with the law and helps protect the plan and its participants against fraud or dishonesty by the bonded trustee or fiduciary.
The federal statute under Title 29, Chapter 18 requires that "Every fiduciary of an employee benefit plan and every person who handles funds or other property of such a plan...shall be bonded".
The bond coverage should be valued at an amount that is at least:
- 10% of the plan assets handled
- $1,000, but not necessarily greater than $500,000 (or $1,000,000 if the plan holds employer securities or unless the Secretary of Labor prescribes a greater amount such as in the case of non-qualified assets)
