About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

Illinois licenses third party administrators — firms that collect premiums or adjust or settle claims for insurers and benefit plans — through the Department of Insurance under Article XXXI¼ of the Insurance Code (215 ILCS 5/511 et seq.). A TPA that maintains funds in a fiduciary capacity must file and maintain a fidelity bond while licensed.

The bond runs in favor of the people of the State of Illinois, payable to any party injured under its terms. It backs the administrator’s honest handling of the funds it holds — it is a fidelity guarantee, not insurance for the TPA.

By statute (215 ILCS 5/511.104) the amount is 5% of the aggregate funds administered, with a $50,000 minimum and a $1,000,000 maximum. The license automatically terminates if the bond is not in force, so we track it and notify you well before expiration.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Illinois TPA bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount. At the $50,000 statutory minimum that’s $1,500. By statute the bond equals 5% of the funds you administer, with a $50,000 floor and a $1,000,000 ceiling — enter your required amount and the quote updates.
Why is the minimum $50,000? +
It’s set by 215 ILCS 5/511.104. The fidelity bond can’t be smaller than $50,000 regardless of how little you administer, and rises to 5% of administered funds up to a $1,000,000 cap.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this fidelity bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects the people of Illinois and any party injured if the administrator mishandles the funds it holds in a fiduciary capacity. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
What happens if the bond lapses? +
Your TPA license automatically terminates if the bond is not in force. We track expiration and send renewal notices well in advance, with autopay available, so a missed email never costs you your license.
