Fidelity Bonds for your new Pension Plan
Under Department of Labor regulations, your new pension plan will need a fidelity bond. A fidelity bond protects the assets in the plan from misuse or misappropriation by the plan fiduciaries. Plan fiduciaries include the plan trustees and any person who has:
- Physical contact with cash, checks or other plan property.
- Power to transfer or negotiate plan property for a price.
- Power to disburse funds, sign checks or produce negotiable instruments from the plan assets.
- Decision making authority over any individual described above.
