About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A third party administrator (TPA) handles money and claims for someone else’s insurance or benefit plan — collecting premiums, paying claims, or administering accounts. Wisconsin licenses administrators through the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance under Wis. Stat. 633.14 and conditions the license on proof of financial responsibility.

The bond is a fidelity-style guarantee standing behind your honest handling of plan funds. It runs in favor of the state and the plans and parties you administer for; if a TPA mishandles the funds it holds and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The common minimum is $25,000, but the OCI can require a higher amount depending on whether you collect premiums, pay benefits, or hold client funds. Confirm your figure on your OCI letter and we’ll match it.

Wis. Stat. 633.14 (Office of the Commissioner of Insurance)Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 633, administered by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, requires a third party administrator to file proof of financial responsibility — a surety bond acceptable to the Commissioner. A $25,000 minimum is common; higher amounts apply depending on whether the administrator collects premiums or pays benefits from its own accounts. Confirm your required amount with the OCI.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wisconsin TPA bond?At the common $25,000 bond amount, the premium is $250 — set by our carrier’s rate book, not a percentage. If the OCI required a higher bond amount for the funds you handle, send us your OCI letter and we’ll confirm your price.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250 at the $25,000 bond amount. The bond amount is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why might my amount be higher than $25,000?Under Chapter 633, the OCI can set a higher bond if you collect premiums or pay benefits from your own accounts. The required figure is on your OCI letter — send it to us and we’ll issue the exact amount and confirm your price.
Is there a credit check?There’s no credit section on this application.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You’ll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, and the bond must stay active for as long as you hold the administrator license.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
