What it is and who needs it.
What the fringe benefits bond actually covers
A union fringe benefits bond is a contractual guarantee, not a licensing bond. When an electrical contracting employer signs on as a signatory with IBEW Local Union No. 226, headquartered in Topeka and covering eastern Kansas, the local's agreement can condition employment of its members on the employer posting a bond that stands behind the health & welfare, pension, annuity, and training fund contributions the agreement obligates the employer to remit for its covered electricians.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and IBEW Local No. 226 (the obligee), with the local's electricians and its benefit trusts as the protected parties. If a signatory employer falls behind on covered fringe contributions, the local or its trust funds can make a claim against the bond up to its face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the bond amount your signatory agreement specifies and your exact price — 4% of that amount, $100 minimum — appears at the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
