Federal Bonding Program
The Federal Bonding Program provides fidelity bonding insurance coverage to individuals with criminal histories and other high-risk job applicants who are qualified, but fail to get jobs because regular commercial bonding is denied due to their backgrounds.

The UNICOR Federal Bonding Program is designed to provide theft insurance to employers who hire ex-federal offenders. The Inmate Transition Branch (ITB) administers the program. Bonding coverage up to $5,000 is available to employers who hire ex-federal offenders after February 1, 2006.

Employers who have hired eligible ex-offenders may apply (on a standard application form) for the insurance, at no cost to the employers or to the employees. The initial bond, paid for by UNICOR, covers the first six months of employment and is renewable by the employer at commercial rates. In the event of theft of money or property, this insurance will reimburse the employer up to the bond value.

Eligibility: An ex-offender must have worked in UNICOR for at least six months during incarceration in a federal correctional institution and must seek coverage within one year after release. Each offender is entitled to coverage for one job after completing their residence/program at a residential re-entry center (RCC or halfway house, as it is commonly called).

Employment materials for ex-offenders:

Materials related to this program are available in institution inmate libraries and at employment resource centers. Additionally, these materials are available to RRCs and Federal Probation offices.

Employers' point of contact:	ITB Federal Bonding Specialist (202-305-4430)
	BOP-FPI/Inmate_Transition@bop.gov

For ex-offenders without UNICOR work experience, a prospective employer or employee may be eligible for the U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration's Federal Bonding Program (FPB).

Some states offer a free service that provides individual fidelity bonds to employers for job applicants with a conviction record. Check with your state's employment service.
