Payments for bail bonds operate as follows:
Secure Bonds: If the member has sufficient collateral, AOR will provide funds up to $50,000 for a secure bond on a posted bond value of up to $500,000.
A secure bail bond, also known as a secured bail bond or secured appearance bond, is a specific type of bail bond that requires the defendant to provide collateral to secure their release from jail. This collateral serves as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court as required. If the defendant fails to appear for a court hearing, the court can seize the collateral to cover the bail amount. Collateral can be in various forms, such as cash, property, or merchandise. The member must have sufficient collateral before AOR will remit any funds for a secured bail bond. AOR does not provide collateral.
Cash Bonds: AOR will provide funds up to $50,000 for a cash bond of $50,000. A cash bail bond, as the name suggests, is a type of bail that requires the defendant or someone on the defendant’s behalf to deposit the entire bail amount in cash. AOR will not provide any funds toward a cash bond that exceeds $50,000 unless the client can post the difference in cash.
