FDIC extends insurance coverage AndyS 06-06-2009

Andy comments:

I just found out that the FDIC has increased their expiration date
for the
"250K per account" to Dec 31, 2013. Previously it was 31 Dec 2009.

You can read about it at www.fdic.gov

A couple other changes have been made in the area of revocable
trusts,
also known as p.o.d. accounts......

Just wanted to pass this along. The information is on the
fdic website....

their website is a bit of a mess. Here is the direct link:

p.o.d. account changes were done last year, but were welcome.

This isn't for depositors. It is to protect banks. When will the asset
values be written off? In 20 years? Putting it off to another day is
bad. Why not incremental write-offs? The B.S. continues.

you may be correct, but as a depositor I have been waiting for this, and
find it most welcome. I wish they didn't put a sunset on it, though.

Andy comments:

I predict that as the 2013 date approaches, it will be extended
again
at the very least..... Otherwise, depositors will start pulling their
funds
out and splitting the funds between banks, as they are doing now with
the October ruling which ended coverage.in 2009.....

Banks want long term deposits --- Depositers want total insurance
for
their deposits.

Personally, I don't really care that the banks get some benefit out
of it
as long as the money I deposit is safe. I think most of us "little
people"
feel the same.
