$0.00

 

This product is an application for ERISA fidelity coverage. After you have completed it, please return to support@bondrepublic.com for processing. ERISA bonds/policies can be issued quickly.

 

Travelers ERISA Fidelity Policy automatically insures all ERISA plans of the Sponsor.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires a plan’s fidelity bond to be no less than 10 of the funds handled by a Trustee/Fiduciary, with a maximum required Bond Limit of $500,000 per plan**. The Limit of Insurance for the Policy should at least equal the sum of the required ERISA coverage limit for each individual plan.

The Travelers ERISA Policy contains a unique Inflation Guard feature unless this coverage is removed by endorsement to the policy. This feature automatically provides a limit of insurance, per plan, adjusted at the plan’s fiscal anniversary date, equal to the limit of insurance required by ERISA.
