Bond or Insurance?
The Federal Code refers to the necessity of a bond It is Employee Dishonesty Insurance
that has been provided to insure against theft loss of employee’s money or other assets

.www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
ERISA Obligations
Federal law requires the Plan Sponsor to carry employee dishonesty coverage that extends to protect the plan assets from any person handling the plan assets A TPA providing employee dishonesty
coverage for their employees is fulfilling a contractual obligation and does not satisfy the law
.www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
ERISA Requirements
If the client has a retirement plan governed by ERISA Federal statute requires 10% of plan
assets, subject to a minimum of $1,000 limit and stops the requirement at $500,000 (note, these are minimums!) If the plan contains stock of the Plan
Sponsor, that maximum increases to $1,000,000

Be sure that the client really understands that the limit purchased this year covers all loss caused by an employee(s)
