This bond goes by several names depending on where you look.

You may also see it called:

• Homemaker Companion Agency Surety Bond
• Connecticut Homemaker Companion Bond

These all refer to the same $10,000 surety bond described on this page. Connecticut Homemaker-Companion Agency Bond is simply the common name used across the industry.

The Connecticut Homemaker-Companion Agency Bond is a $10,000 surety bond required by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection for homemaker-companion agencies registering to operate in the state.

Homemaker-companion agencies provide companion and homemaker services in people’s homes. This bond helps protect those clients by guaranteeing that agencies comply with Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-672 and DCP’s registration rules, including coverage for theft by an employee of the agency.

If an agency fails to comply with those requirements or causes a covered loss, an eligible claim may be made against the bond. The bond provides financial protection for clients while helping maintain professional standards across the homemaker and companion services industry.

You must obtain this bond if you are:

• New applicants registering a homemaker-companion agency with the Department of Consumer Protection
• Registered agencies renewing their registration each October 31

Under Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-672(a)(3), the agency must maintain the bond, and its coverage must include theft by an employee of the agency.

This bond gives clients a source of recovery if an agency employee steals from them while providing services in their home.

As a result, by requiring agencies to maintain a surety bond, Connecticut helps:

• Protect clients from financial losses caused by employee theft
• Encourage agencies to comply with Connecticut’s homemaker-companion laws and regulations
• Promote accountability and consumer confidence in the homemaker and companion services industry

Ultimately, by maintaining an active surety bond, agencies demonstrate their commitment to complying with Connecticut law and protecting the clients they serve.

Through our Instant Issue platform, the premium starts as low as $100 for one year. Your premium may vary depending on the information provided during the application process. The portal displays your final bond information and premium due before you complete payment.

One of the most important dates for Connecticut homemaker-companion agencies is October 31.

Agencies must maintain an active surety bond as part of the annual registration requirements. Obtaining or renewing your bond before the deadline helps keep your registration in compliance and avoid unnecessary delays.
