Question
What is the status of legislation to PERMANENTLY increase the FDIC insurance limit to $250,000 on Non-IRA accounts?
Thank you


Answer
interesting you asked me this, I had a customer ask me this just today.  As of right now I have not heard of any changes.  I have heard of talk of them making it a permanent thing, but to be 100% honest with you banks generally find out the same time the public does.  I do know that as of right now that 250k insurance will remain in effect, the place that we always check is fdic.gov or bankrate.com for the latest info on this
