Virginia%RQGLQJ Program The Virginia Bonding Program or the Federal Bonding Program in Virginia provide fidelity bonds to employers for individuals with convictions. Bonds are a business insurance that reimburse employers to cover theft, larceny, forgery and embezzlement. The Federal Bonding Program was first developed in 1966 by the Federal Government and bonds were given free to states. Virginia bonds were administered by the Virginia Employment commission. IN 1998, the federal Government began charging $100 per bond. The Virginia Department of Corrections now administers the bonds in Virginia. Bonds are issued at no cost to the job seeker or employer. Also, there are no applications, forms or paperwork to complete. Bonds are administered for $5,000 to cover a period of six months and there is no deductible amount for the employer to pay.
