The Obligee can recover the amount required to compensate the resident of the nursing facility if the nursing facility violates any of the bonded obligations. The Surety will assume the responsibility. The Surety will first check if the claim is valid through an investigation. If it is, the Obligee will be paid in full. The Principal is obligated to indemnify the Surety after.
