What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Maryland Auto Insurance — long known as the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund (MAIF) — provides auto liability coverage to drivers who cannot get it in the standard market. Producers who place business with the Fund must be authorized, and a $10,000 surety bond is part of that authorization.
The bond guarantees that the producer will account for and pay over the premiums and money that come into its hands as a MAIF producer. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Maryland Auto Insurance as the obligee — with the Fund and its insureds protected.
If a producer misapplies premium or fails to account for funds, the harmed party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the producer repays the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you are authorized to write the Fund.
