    Dear Comrade Commander:
     
    One of the most important communications you will receive during the year concerns appropriate bonding for your Post Positions. Section 703 of the National By-Laws requires that EACH Accountable Officer shall be bonding with an Indemnity Company as surety. The By-Laws place the responsibility for adequeate bonding upon the Commander of the post. Section 218 of the National Manual requires THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF THE ACCOUNTABLE OFFICER BE AUDITED AT LEAST QUARTERLY BY THE TRUSTEES.
     
    The Department Headquarters carries a Crime Policy for bonding of Department and Post Accountable Officers. Any unit may decide whether it prefers to take out a policy with another surety company or have its funds protected by the Department Headquarters Crime Policy. However, prompt attention is required because if you Accountable Officers had previously been covered through the Department Program, a new premium payment is required by September 1, 2026 or it will be considered delinquent.

  • COVERAGES OF THE POLICY REQUIRE:

  • 1. If you agree to make/or cause to be made, at least annually, an audit of your books and accounts, including complete verification of all securities and bank balances pertaining to each “employee and/ or volunteer”.


    If the above is not complied with, the Insurance Company may refuse to honor claim of missing funds which cannot be proven by records. Monthly audits and reconciliation of bank statements may avoid this denial of claim.
     
    2. The Insurance Company may not pay for loss resulting from any unauthorized advances made by an "employee" to any member for delinquent dues and assessments.
     
    3. "Employee" means a duly elected position, or any appointed officer as listed in the policy schedule.
     
    4. IF THE POLICY IS NOT RENEWED, TERMINATED, OR CANCELLED AT EXPIRATION DATE OF 9-1-2026, THE POST HAS ONLY 90 DAYS TO SUBMIT A PROOF OF LOSS FOR PRIOR TERM. AFTER 90 DAYS PRIOR COVERAGE CEASES.
     
    5. POST MUST SUBMIT A PROOF OF LOSS FORM WITHIN 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST DATE OF DISCOVERY OF THE LOSS.
     
    THIS POLICY IS ONLY FOR THE YEAR SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 TO AUGUST 31, 2027
    The funds of your Post are protected only for that year. Premium for the following year will be due September 1, 2027
