Yes, you are required by ERISA to bond or insure your plans from employee dishonesty in the lesser of $500,000 or 10% percent of all plan assets. The Department of Labor has the authority to prescribe a bond in excess of $500,000, up to 10% of the value of all plan assets as of the beginning of the plan year. Fiduciary liability is not required by ERISA.
