What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A health care service firm places nurses, aides, companions, and other health care personnel in homes and facilities. New Jersey regulates these firms through the Division of Consumer Affairs under N.J.S.A. 34:8-43 et seq., and conditions registration on a surety bond for firms that fall below a net-worth threshold.
Under N.J.S.A. 34:8-45.1, a firm with a net worth of less than $100,000 must file and maintain a $10,000 surety bond. The bond protects the firm's clients — if the firm fails to fulfill its service contracts, files for bankruptcy, or otherwise breaches its obligations, a harmed client can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as your registration relies on it; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so the $10,000 filing stays continuous.
