The FDIC is offering two identical series of four telephone seminars for bankers on the FDIC's rules for deposit insurance coverage. The series are designed to provide bankers who participate in all four sessions with a comprehensive review of the FDIC's rules for deposit insurance coverage. These free seminars are open to employees of all FDIC-insured banks and savings associations.
The seminar series consist of four one-hour sessions on:
-
Basic Concepts of Deposit Insurance Coverage,
-
Coverage for Retirement and Employee Benefit Plan Accounts,
-
Trust Account Coverage, and
-
Coverage for Business and Government Accounts.
Basic Concepts of Deposit Insurance Coverage
This session will review how deposit ownership affects available coverage. It will describe the ownership requirements for the various categories of deposit insurance coverage, including a detailed review of coverage for the single account and joint account categories. While it is not necessary to view the seminars in any particular order, starting with this session will ensure that the participant has a strong foundation in the basic concepts for determining coverage for all account ownership categories.
Retirement and Employee Benefit Plan Accounts
This session will focus on the FDIC's rules for insurance coverage of retirement and employee benefit plan accounts. It will discuss how to determine whether a customer's retirement account qualifies for coverage under the "certain retirement accounts" category (which receives up to $250,000 in coverage per owner) or under the employee benefit plan account category.
Trust Account Coverage
This session will discuss the requirements for insurance coverage of revocable and irrevocable trust deposits. The presentation will explain the differences between formal and informal revocable trusts, and how the FDIC's insurance rules can differ depending on the type of revocable trust involved. It will also illustrate how revocable trust coverage is calculated, and analyze the relationship between formal and informal revocable trusts. Specific examples will be presented.
Business and Government Accounts
This session will focus on the requirements for FDIC coverage of business accounts (corporation, partnership and unincorporated association accounts) and government (public unit) accounts. The presentation will include a discussion of official custodians and coverage available for separate political units.
Individuals who participate in all four sessions will receive a comprehensive review of the FDIC's rules for deposit insurance coverage. However, participants may prefer to view specific sessions only, based on their own needs and schedules.
