THE FEDERAL BONDING PROGRAM
The Federal Bonding Program
What is it?
The U.S. Department of Labor established The Federal Bonding Program in 1966 to provide Fidelity Bonds for “at-risk,” hard-to-place job seekers. The bonds cover the first six months of employment at no cost to the job applicant or the employer.

Who We Serve
Employers
The mission of the Federal Bonding Program (FBP) is to give employers peace of mind by bonding job candidates considered to be higher risk. There are no out of pocket expenses for the employer because FBP bonds are provided free of charge and carry a $0 deductible.
