May 26th, 2009 = FDIC Insurance Limit of $250,000 Extended Until 2013 = Even as the FDIC oversaw the closures of two more banks last Friday (the 35th and 36th for this year), it also made a special announcement a few days ago regarding consumers' insurance coverage. The actual text from the FDIC website reads: "May 20, 2009 Deposits at FDIC-insured institutions are now insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except for IRAs and other certain retirement accounts which will remain at $250,000 per depositor. (This supersedes the October 3, 2008 changes.)" It can be recalled that the rise in insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 was made effective last October 3, 2008 in light of the successive bank closures that hit the country last year. While the new insurance cap of $250,000 per deposit account is supposed to expire come December 31, 2009, this notice effectively extends the raised limit for another four years.

Your funds are insured up to $100,000 per "ownership category" per FDIC-insured bank.

What is a government Insurance?

Government insurance can be insurance that protects a government, insurance that is administered by a government, insurance that is funded or guaranteed by a government, or insurance that is made available to a government or governments or employees of a government or governments.Examples:The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): This was created during the Great Depression of the 1930s. To prevent banks from going bankrupt due to "runs" on banks that are rumored to be in trouble, the FDIC guarantees individuals' bank accounts up to a certain amount per account (the maximum had been $100,000 for a long time, but it may have gone up to $250,000).Government Employees' Insurance Co.
