Highlights:
- Effective April 1, 2006, coverage for certain retirement plan deposits increased to $250,000. The basic insurance limit for other depositors - individuals, joint account holders, businesses, government entities and trusts - remains at $100,000.
- Pass-through coverage for employee benefit plans is no longer tied to an institution's capital level, although institutions must meet certain capital requirements to accept employee benefit plan deposits.
- The FDIC Board of Directors is authorized to increase the insurance limits for all deposit accounts every five years, beginning in 2011, based on the rate of inflation.
- This FIL supersedes FIL-27-2006, dated March 28, 2006.
