What it is and who needs it.
What the Local 24 wage welfare bond actually guarantees
Plumbers Local No. 24, headquartered in West Caldwell, negotiates collective bargaining agreements with signatory contractors that obligate the employer to pay negotiated wages and remit welfare and pension contributions for every hour a covered journeyman or apprentice works. The wage and welfare bond is the funds' financial guarantee that those contributions actually arrive.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory contractor), the surety carrier, and the trustees of the Local 24 welfare and pension funds (the obligee), for the protection of the plumbers and pipefitters whose benefits depend on those contributions. If a contractor falls behind on wages or fund contributions its CBA requires, the trustees can make a claim, and — after grievance procedures the CBA sets out — draw on the bond for the shortfall; the contractor then repays the surety.
This is a private contractual requirement, not a state-mandated bond — the amount is set by the union or benefit funds trustees based on the terms of your CBA and your covered workforce, and the bond must stay in force for the life of the agreement, typically renewed annually alongside it. Enter the figure your CBA requires; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum after a quick soft credit check 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.
