Anyone who handles funds or other property of the Idaho Plumbers and Pipefitters Pension Plan Trust must be bonded under the federal fidelity-bond rule at ERISA §412 (29 U.S.C. §1112). This particular filing is fixed at a $5,000 penal sum — ours is $200 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only — no hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
















A standard fund fidelity bond at this size is one of the simpler filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Your details, your role with the fund (trustee, administrator, employee handling funds), and an effective date. That's the application.
Fidelity bonds at this size are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the fund's trustees or plan administrator. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Idaho Plumbers and Pipefitters Pension Plan Trust is an employee benefit plan administered for plumber and pipefitter union members in Idaho. Federal law — ERISA §412, 29 U.S.C. §1112 — requires every plan official who handles funds or other property of the plan to be covered by a fidelity bond, unless a narrow statutory exemption applies.
The bond protects the plan against loss from fraud or dishonesty by a bonded person — theft, embezzlement, forgery, misappropriation, and similar acts — not against ordinary investment loss or a bad business decision. Federal law generally sets the floor at 10% of the funds handled in the preceding plan year, with a $1,000 statutory minimum per plan official and typically a $500,000 cap per plan; this specific filing is fixed at $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — it protects the plan's participants and beneficiaries from a dishonest act by someone with access to plan money. If a claim is paid, the bonded person is liable to reimburse the surety. Confirm the exact amount your role requires with the fund's trustees or plan administrator before you apply; we issue this specific $5,000 filing.
These are the actual issuing fields, including your role with the fund. The credit section authorizes a soft pull only.
