What it is and who needs it.
What the fringe benefits bond actually guarantees
A contractor that signs a collective bargaining agreement with IUPAT District Council No. 3 — which represents painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, and related trades across western Missouri and Kansas — agrees to pay its covered employees according to the agreement’s wage scale and to remit contributions to the affiliated District Council No. 3 Painters & Glaziers Trust Funds (health, pension, vacation, and apprenticeship/training funds) for every hour a covered employee works. The agreement requires the signatory employer to secure and maintain a surety bond guaranteeing payment of those wages and fund contributions, and to furnish the Council or its Trust Funds office evidence that the bond is procured and kept in force.
It is a private, contractual security — not a Missouri statute or a state licensing requirement. Three parties are involved: the contractor (the principal), the surety, and District Council No. 3 or its affiliated trust funds (the obligee) on behalf of covered employees. If a signatory contractor falls behind on wages or fund contributions, the Council or a trust fund can make a claim against the bond to recover what is owed — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.
The bond amount is set by your specific collective bargaining agreement, not by a single statewide figure — it typically scales with covered payroll and the fund obligations that come with it. Confirm the exact amount your agreement requires directly with District Council No. 3 or its Painters & Glaziers Trust Funds office before applying — we size and price whatever figure your agreement requires, from a $1,000 minimum, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.

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.
How to file it
Furnish it to District Council No. 3. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to furnish to IUPAT District Council No. 3 (or its Painters & Glaziers Trust Funds office) as evidence of coverage. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 4% of the bond amount, $1,000 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, then a quick review.
Submit the application with the bond amount your agreement requires. Most applications clear quickly; if a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that will not touch your score.
