About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the benefit funds bond actually guarantees

This bond is a contractual guarantee, not a licensing bond. When an employer signs a collective bargaining agreement with UA Plumbers & Steamfitters Local No. 22, the local’s Employee Benefit Funds — the jointly trusteed health, pension, and annuity trusts that serve its plumbing, pipefitting, and HVAC service members — can condition employing covered workers on the employer posting a bond that stands behind the monthly contributions the agreement requires.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the UA Local 22 Employee Benefit Funds (the obligee), with the local’s members and retirees as the protected interest. If a signatory employer falls behind on required health, pension, or annuity contributions, the funds office can claim against the bond up to its face amount to recover what is owed.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. There is no single fixed amount; the benefit funds office sets the figure based on your payroll and contribution schedule under your CBA. Keep the bond current for as long as you employ Local 22 members, and we send renewal notices ahead of expiration.

Confirm your exact required bond amount and obligee language directly with the Local 22 benefit funds office before applying.
