What Fiduciary Liability Insurance Requirements Apply in Connecticut?

Connecticut § 38a-512a applies only to group health policies providing a coverage type listed in § 38a-469(1), (2), (3), (4), (11) or (12). For covered policies, specified layoff, reduced-hours, leave or termination events generally allow up to 30 months, but other group coverage and event-specific exceptions can shorten or change that period; Connecticut Insurance Department guidance says the expanded period reaches fully insured employer plans of any size.

What Is Fiduciary Liability Insurance?

Fiduciary liability can protect your company and plan fiduciaries when participants claim mishandling of an employee benefit plan. If you sponsor a retirement or health plan, check who is insured and whether both administration errors and fiduciary-breach claims are addressed. Read the national Fiduciary liability guide.

What to Watch for With Fiduciary Liability in Connecticut

Confirm The Plan And Policy Scope
Section 38a-512a applies to group health policies in Connecticut that provide a coverage type listed in § 38a-469(1), (2), (3), (4), (11) or (12). Separately, the Insurance Department says the 30-month expansion reaches fully insured employer plans of any size. Identify the policy, funding and listed coverage category before applying the state deadline. ^1,²
Match The Event To The Right Period
Section 38a-512a(a)(1)(A) generally provides up to 30 months after layoff, reduced hours, leave or termination, except death or gross misconduct, and ordinarily ends earlier when other group insurance becomes available. If reduced hours, leave or termination results from the employee's eligibility to receive Social Security income, continuation ends at midnight before Medicare eligibility; that special endpoint does not list layoff. Death and other events have separate periods. Existing collectively bargained group policies are not altered or impaired; the section applies at the next regular renewal and after the collective-bargaining agreement is complete. ¹
Track Other Coverage And Special Extensions
The ordinary Connecticut continuation option ends when the person becomes eligible for other group insurance. The statute has exceptions for illness or injury (up to 12 months) and for total disability when a group policy ends (up to 12 calendar months, with a timely claim); map those dates separately. ¹

Which Fiduciary Liability Providers Have Connecticut License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Fiduciary liability; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Connecticut. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Connecticut

Reported tax rate. 4% of gross premium when Connecticut is the home state ^7,^8,⁹

When Connecticut is the insured’s home state, surplus-lines tax is 4% of gross premium; certain state and local government insureds are exempt, and broker or policy fees are not part of the premium-tax base. Connecticut’s required notice says these policies are outside the state guaranty association. Most placements require three declinations or an export-list qualification; an exempt commercial purchaser may qualify for the federal § 8205 search exception after disclosure and a written request.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy Fiduciary Liability in Connecticut

Does this Connecticut group policy provide a coverage type listed in § 38a-469(1), (2), (3), (4), (11) or (12), and is it fully insured?
Who classifies an event as layoff, leave, termination, death or gross misconduct before the continuation period is entered?

Fiduciary Liability Insurance in Connecticut: FAQ

Does Connecticut provide 30 months of state continuation coverage?

Yes, for specified layoff, reduced-hours, leave or termination events under § 38a-512a(a)(1)(A), subject to earlier eligibility for other group insurance. If reduced hours, leave or termination results from eligibility to receive Social Security income, the period instead ends at midnight before Medicare eligibility. The Insurance Department says the expansion reaches fully insured employer plans of any size. ^1,²

Does every Connecticut continuation event receive 30 months?

No. Section 38a-512a limits coverage to group health policies providing one of the types listed in § 38a-469(1), (2), (3), (4), (11) or (12). It sets separate periods for death, illness or injury, and total disability after policy termination; the 30-month employment-event rule has an earlier Medicare-related endpoint in specified cases. Existing collectively bargained policies receive the statute's renewal-and-agreement timing qualification. ¹
