What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Under Georgia’s Employment Security Law, most employers pay unemployment contributions (a payroll tax). But nonprofit (501(c)(3)) and governmental employers may instead elect to reimburse the Department of Labor dollar-for-dollar for the unemployment benefits actually charged to them — the “reimbursable” method under O.C.G.A. § 34-8-158.
When an employer chooses the reimbursable method, the DOL can require a surety bond, cash deposit, or securities to secure those future reimbursements. The amount is set by the DOL after it reviews your election forms (DOL-11 / DOL-11B) — generally scaled to your payroll and expected benefit exposure.
It is not insurance for you — if the DOL pays benefits you don’t reimburse and recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the DOL set and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
