About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the residents fund bond actually covers

When a long-term care facility manages money for its residents — Social Security, allowances, personal spending — it holds that money in a resident trust fund, separate from the facility's own operating accounts. Federal law (42 CFR §483.10) requires any facility that holds resident funds to purchase a surety bond or equivalent security to protect those funds.

Oklahoma enforces the same protection through the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. Under the OHCA's long-term care rules (OAC 317:30-5-125), a facility must keep resident funds in a designated account, never commingle them with facility funds, and account for them in full — the bond stands behind that duty.

If a facility misuses or fails to return a resident's trust funds, the bond protects the harmed resident and their family — and if the surety pays, the facility repays the surety. Size the bond to the trust balance you hold; we issue it from a $100 minimum with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

42 CFR §483.10 · OAC 317:30-5-125 (OHCA)Federal nursing-home rules at 42 CFR §483.10 require a facility that holds residents' personal funds to provide a surety bond (or equivalent security) assuring the security of those funds. Oklahoma's long-term care trust-fund rules under the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OAC 317:30-5-125, with related guidance at 317:30-5-63) require funds to be held in a designated, non-commingled account and fully accounted for. Size the bond to the resident trust balance you hold.

After you buy

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.

How to file it

File with your facility records. Hold the executed bond as required for your resident trust fund account and your Medicaid provider enrollment. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued instantly.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.
