A Texas Bond of Administrator or Service Company for a Workers' Compensation Self-Insured Group is a legal document that provides assurance to the State of Texas that a Workers' Compensation Self-Insured Group is in compliance with state regulations. The bond is required by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) and serves as a guarantee that the Self-Insured Group will pay claims and will not violate insurance laws. This type of bond is also known as a Workers' Compensation Self-Insurance Group Bond. The Texas Bond of Administrator or Service Company for a Workers' Compensation Self-Insured Group may come in two forms: a surety bond or a cash deposit. With a surety bond, an individual or company acts as a guarantor and agrees to pay claims in the event the Self-Insured Group does not. A cash deposit is a deposit of money that is held by the TDI in trust and may be used to pay claims if the Self-Insured Group fails to do so. The purpose of the Texas Bond of Administrator or Service Company for a Workers' Compensation Self-Insured Group is to protect the workers and ensure that the Self-Insured Group meets its obligations.
