How Does a Wisconsin Unemployment Fund Bond Work? 

A unemployment reserve fund bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the employer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Unemployment Reserve Fund of the State of Wisconsin requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 108.151 (4)(a).

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire after four years. To renew your unemployment reserve fund bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted and follow any additional instructions. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
