What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Under Nebraska’s Private Postsecondary Career School Act, a person employed to recruit students or otherwise represent a school is a school agent and must hold a permit and a $5,000 surety bond with the Department of Education.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it backs the agent’s conduct in recruiting and enrolling students, so a student harmed by the agent’s violation of the Act can recover against the bond — up to the $5,000 amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Schools with several recruiters can instead use a blanket agent bond covering all of them in one filing.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
File with the Department of Education. Your executed $5,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with the agent permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
