Important Update: FDIC Insurance Coverage Increased in Late 2008
In the fall of 2008, Congress temporarily increased the basic FDIC insurance coverage limit from $100,000 to $250,000 through December 31, 2009. In addition, the FDIC simplified the rules for the calculation of deposit insurance coverage for revocable trust deposits, including an expanded definition of the "eligible beneficiaries" for additional insurance coverage. As a result, certain previously published information related to FDIC insurance may not reflect the current insurance coverage. For more information, go to www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/index.html or call toll-free 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342) Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time. For the hearing-impaired, the number is 1-800-925-4618.

The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation was created by Congress in 1933 to protect depositors and ensure the safety and soundness of the U.S. banking system. Since that time, the FDIC has remained true to its mission — to be a source of confidence and stability for the American people. In fact, because of the FDIC, no depositor has lost a single cent of insured funds as a result of a bank failure.
The FDIC is celebrating our 75th anniversary in numerous ways, including the publishing of "Money Tips for All Ages," this special edition of FDIC Consumer News. We invite
you to learn more about what
we do to serve and protect consumers — and what you can do to better manage your money. Start by visiting our home page at www.fdic.gov. You also can call or write the FDIC for help regarding deposit insurance and banking. See For More Help or Information on Managing Your Money for information on how to contact us.
