What is the Federal Bonding Program?

The Federal Bonding Program is a federally funded program that serves as an incentive to employers to hire high risk special applicant groups who are not bondable due to a criminal record, history of alcohol or drug abuse, poor credit, lack of employment history, or dishonorable discharge. The bond protects employers against employee dishonesty, theft or embezzlement.

Application Process

The process is easy!

• On behalf of the job applicant, employers can request Fidelity Bonding by contacting the Bonding Coordinator in the nearest ESC Workforce Center either by phone or in person.
• Bonding is in effect immediately following the applicant's first day of work.
• Bond coverage is for up to $5,000 and self terminates in six months. After six months, if a bond still remains a condition of employment, employers can purchase bonds through the contracted insurance company.
