Federal bonding
The fidelity bonds issued by the Federal Bonding Program (FBP) protect employers against employee fraud and dishonesty. Employers receive the bonds free-of-charge as an incentive to hire these applicants. The FBP was designed to reimburse the employer for any loss due to employee theft of money or property up to $25,000 during the first six months of a selected individual's term of employment.
The mission of the FBP is to give employers the peace of mind that you can safely provide all individuals job opportunities with limited risk.
The FBP helps reduce barriers for justice-involved individuals, as well as others who have difficulty securing employment and getting their lives back on track, building stronger, healthier communities.
