A Wisconsin Unemployment Reserve Fund Bond is required by the state of Wisconsin because the principal has elected to discharge its monetary obligations incurred under the Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Law by means of reimbursement financing.

What is the purpose of the Unemployment Reserve Fund Bond?

The bond is an agreement between three parties, namely the principal, the obligee (the state) and the surety company. The principal is required by Wisconsin Statutes to file a surety bond with the Treasurer of the Unemployment Reserve Fund of the State of Wisconsin to guarantee the payment of required reimbursements, together with any interest and any late filing fees. The amount of the bond shall be equal to 4% of the employer’s payroll for the year immediately preceding the effective date of the election, or the employer’s anticipated payroll for the current year, whichever is greater, as determined by the department.
