What it is and who needs it.
What the PEO bond actually covers
A professional employer organization (PEO) co-employs a client’s workforce — running payroll, withholding payroll taxes, and handling benefits. Because employees and tax authorities rely on the PEO to actually remit wages and taxes, Montana requires registered PEOs to show financial strength under MCA 39-8-202.
The baseline is a $50,000 tangible accounting net worth, shown by audited financials (or compiled financials plus a $100,000 security deposit). A PEO that can’t meet the net-worth floor may instead post a surety bond, letter of credit, or marketable securities of at least $50,000 to cover the deficiency.
The bond protects employees and the state: if the PEO defaults on wages or payroll-related taxes, the department can access the bond. If the surety pays, the PEO repays the surety. Enter the amount your registration requires; premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
