The House passed a bill (HR 522) raising government insurance for deposits in banks, savings and loans and federally chartered credit unions from $100,000 to $130,000 per account. The bill increases protection for retirement accounts from $100,000 to $260,000. Both ceilings would be periodically adjusted for inflation.
