ERISA Fidelity Coverage

Crime coverage to protect employee benefit plans as required by the ERISA Act of 1974.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) was enacted to protect employee benefit plans against loss by acts of fraud or dishonesty. The statute instituted a fidelity bond requirement for plan trustees, and it defined the coverage limit requirements. The ERISA policy must equal 10 percent of the funds handled by a trustee or fiduciary with a minimum limit of $1,000 per plan and a maximum limit of $500,000 per plan. Plans holding employer securities are required to carry a maximum limit of $1,000,000.
