What it is and who needs it.
What the VA fiduciary bond actually guarantees
The VA Fiduciary Program oversees beneficiaries who, because of injury, disease, advanced age, or minority, cannot manage their own VA benefits. When the VA appoints a fiduciary to receive and manage those benefits, it can require a corporate surety bond as a financial backstop — a guarantee that you will discharge your duties faithfully and account for every dollar.
Under 38 CFR 13.230, a fiduciary must furnish the bond to the fiduciary hub with jurisdiction within 60 days of appointment when the VA benefit funds due to the beneficiary will exceed $25,000 at the time of appointment. The bond identifies the fiduciary, the beneficiary, and the bonding company, and is payable to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim because funds were mismanaged, you repay the surety. You must also adjust the bond when the funds under management rise or fall by more than 20%, and furnish proof to the hub within 60 days. We issue the amount your hub requires at a flat 3%, with one soft credit pull.
