What are Community Care Licensing Bonds?
These surety bonds guarantee that the finances of clients are handled responsibly and faithfully by the community care facility, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. They also guarantee that all scheduled payments and transfers to outside recipients are completed in a timely and satisfactory manner. If the principal (community care facility) does not comply with the terms of the bond, a claim can be filed with the surety company for relief.
If the claim is valid, the surety will pay up to the penal sum of the bond to resolve the claim. The principal is then required to reimburse the surety for all monies paid out, including any attorney fees incurred by the surety in the defense of the claim.
