Year 2000 Federal Insurance Brochure

The NCUA is providing the enclosed brochure for your use in assuring your members that the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund’s (NCUSIF) coverage of federally insured credit unions continues before and after the century date change. Credit union members need to be assured their deposits will remain insured after the Year 2000 Date Change. The Year 2000 Date Change will not affect the deposit insurance coverage of federally insured credit unions.

In particular, the brochure:

• Emphasizes that the NCUSIF protects member shares up to $100,000 against loss due to the failure of a federally-insured credit union for any reason, including the Year 2000 Date Change;
• Indicates NCUA has performed special Year 2000 assessments on federally insured credit unions, and will continue to monitor credit unions’ Year 2000 readiness efforts; and
• Refers credit union members to their individual credit unions for up-to-date information concerning the credit union’s efforts for the Year 2000 Date Change.
