About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

IUPAT Painters District Council No. 22, based in Warren, requires a signatory painting contractor to carry a $10,000 wage-and-welfare bond for the life of its collective bargaining agreement. The bond backs the employer's duty to pay contract wages and remit dues, health, and pension fund contributions on behalf of its members to the council's trust funds.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and District Council No. 22's trust funds (the obligee), with covered union members as the protected parties. If a signatory contractor falls behind on wages or fringe-benefit contributions the agreement requires, the trust funds can make a claim against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for as long as your signatory agreement with DC 22 requires one, so we track the term and notify you before it lapses.

Painters District Council No. 22 collective bargaining agreementThis bond is a contractual requirement of the Painters District Council No. 22 collective bargaining agreement, not a state statute — a signatory contractor posts it to guarantee wage, dues, and fringe-benefit fund payments to the council's trust funds. Confirm the exact amount and term your agreement calls for; we'll issue whichever the council specifies.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the District Council 22 wage-and-welfare bond?The premium is $400 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The $10,000 bond amount is fixed by the DC 22 collective bargaining agreement, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $400. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid wage or fringe-benefit claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Wage-and-welfare bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

Is this the same bond as the District Council 1M bond?No — each district council sets its own signatory bond requirement under its own agreement. If your work also falls under District Council 1M’s jurisdiction, we write that new-employer bond too.
