§ 489.67 Term and type of bond.
(a) Each participating HHA that does not meet the criteria for waiver under § 489.62 must submit to CMS in a form as CMS may specify, a surety bond for a term beginning January 1, 1998. If an annual bond is submitted for the initial term, it must be effective through the end of the HHA's current fiscal year.
(b) Type of bond. The type of bond required to be submitted by an HHA under this subpart may be either—
(1) An annual bond (that is, a bond that specifies an effective annual period corresponding to the HHA's fiscal year); or
(2) A continuous bond (that is, a bond that remains in full force and effect from term to term unless it is terminated or canceled as provided for in the bond or as otherwise provided by law) that is updated by the Surety, via the issuance of a rider, for a particular fiscal year for which the bond amount has changed or will change.
