Accordingly, DFS hereby certifies the bonds and liability insurance necessary to meet the financial guarantee requirements established by DOS are readily available for purchase in New York State. This certification is subject to review as experience and additional information become available.

Please contact DFS with any questions or concerns you may have.

 

Sincerely,
