About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the resident funds bond actually covers

When a New York nursing home or residential health care facility holds a resident's personal funds — the spending money or trust account a facility keeps on a resident's behalf — it must protect that money with a surety bond. The bond guarantees the facility safeguards, accounts for, and returns each resident's funds.

The requirement runs through the Public Health Law and 10 NYCRR § 415.26, which directs the facility to purchase a surety bond (or provide equivalent security) to assure the security of all resident personal funds it deposits or holds. Adult care facilities carry a parallel obligation under their own regulations.

Because the bond is statutory and the obligation is straightforward, it is instant-issue: no financial statements, no credit check, no underwriter queue. You apply, pay the 3% premium ($275 minimum), and have the executed bond the same day.

NY Public Health Law · 10 NYCRR § 415.26A residential health care facility that holds residents' personal funds must purchase a surety bond, or provide equivalent security, to assure the security of all such funds. The penal sum must be at least equal to the total resident funds the facility holds at any given time.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the New York resident's personal funds trust bond? +
It is 3% of the penal sum, one-time, with a $275 minimum. The penal sum is the total resident personal funds your facility holds, so a facility holding $10,000 pays $300 and one holding $50,000 pays $1,500. A facility with $5,000 or less in resident funds lands on the $275 minimum.
How do I know what bond amount to use? +
Set the penal sum to the total resident personal funds your facility holds in trust. Under 10 NYCRR § 415.26 the bond must be at least equal to that total at any given time, so use your current resident funds balance — and re-bond if it climbs materially above the amount you posted.
Do I need a credit check? +
No — this bond is instant-issue with no credit pull at all. You apply, pay the premium, and the executed bond is generated on the spot.
How fast can I get it? +
Immediately. The executed bond is generated the moment you pay, so you can keep it on file the same day you apply. There is no underwriting queue.
Who requires this bond? +
New York requires it of nursing homes and residential health care facilities — and adult care facilities under their own rules — that hold residents' personal funds. The obligation runs through the Public Health Law and 10 NYCRR § 415.26, which directs the facility to bond the security of all resident funds it holds.
