The bond New York requires when your facility holds residents' personal funds in trust. It guarantees you safeguard and return each resident's money — and at our flat 3% rate it is issued instantly, no credit check, ready to file the same day you apply.
















This bond is instant-issue — there is no underwriting queue to wait in. Here is the whole thing:
Your facility details, an effective date, and the penal sum — the total resident personal funds you hold in trust. That is the entire application.
There is no credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay.
Keep the executed bond on file for your residential health care facility licensure. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department of Health insists on them.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. A facility holding $5,000 in resident funds lands on the $275 minimum; larger balances scale straight off the 3% rate.
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.
Submit the application with the resident funds you hold as the penal sum — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to keep on file.
