MN CFSS agency bonds ($50,000).
$1,500 flat. Soft pull.
Minnesota requires a Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) agency-provider to post a surety bond at enrollment with the Department of Human Services. The $50,000 tier applies to first-time enrollees and lower-volume agencies. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the CFSS bond actually guarantees
Minnesota’s Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) program — the successor to PCA services — is run by the Department of Human Services (DHS) under Minn. Stat. 256B.85. Every CFSS agency-provider must show proof of a surety bond at enrollment, reenrollment, and revalidation.
The bond protects Minnesota Health Care Programs and the people it serves against losses — for example, payments for services not properly rendered. It must be in a form DHS approves, renewed annually, and must allow recovery of the costs and fees of pursuing a claim.
The amount is tiered by volume: $50,000 for first-time enrollees and agencies whose total CFSS Medicaid payments in the prior calendar year were $300,000 or less; $100,000 once prior-year payments exceed $300,000. This is the $50,000 tier — if your volume has crossed the threshold, use the $100,000 bond instead.
