Why do I need this bond?
By posting a third-party administrator surety bond in Illinois, principals (third-party administrators) pledge to comply with all provisions of Section 511.104 of the Illinois Insurance Code. Under this code, principals must:
- identify, to the Director, any ownership interest or affiliation of any plan sponsor or insurer
- provide services as an administrator pursuant to the written agreement (with the plan sponsor or insurer)
- maintain all written agreements with plan sponsors or insurers in their principal place of business for at least five years
