When SAIF writes your workers' comp coverage, it can require a premium deposit — and under ORS 656.552, SAIF may accept a surety bond instead of tying up that cash. This is the version for a partnership. We issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with SAIF. Here is the whole thing:
Your partnership details, the bond amount SAIF set, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with SAIF in lieu of your premium deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed when SAIF insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the deposit figure SAIF set and the premium updates.
SAIF is Oregon's state-chartered workers' compensation insurer. When SAIF covers an employer, it may require a premium deposit — a sum roughly equal to the premium that would be outstanding if coverage were cancelled, often up to about six months of premium.
Under ORS 656.552(2), SAIF may, in its discretion, accept a surety bond, letter of credit, or similar instrument in place of that cash deposit. The bond lets a partnership keep its cash working instead of parking it with SAIF, while still guaranteeing the premium SAIF is owed.
If the partnership fails to pay premium owed, SAIF can recover against the bond up to its penal sum — and if the surety pays, the partners repay the surety. This page is the partnership version; corporations and LLCs use a separate form. We issue the amount SAIF set at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. This is the partnership form — corporations and LLCs use the separate SAIF corporation/LLC bond.
