Program Overview
The Virginia Bonding Program provides no‑cost fidelity bonds to employers who hire individuals with convictions, offering protection against loss due to dishonest acts during the first six months of employment. It is Virginia’s version of the national Federal Bonding Program and helps reduce hiring risk for “at‑risk” job seekers.
