NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY NCUA INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31‚ 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from‚ the coverage of at least $250‚000 available to members under the NCUA’s general share insurance rules.

The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends‚ a negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) account‚ money-market deposit account‚ and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (“IOLTA”), even if share drafts may be drawn on the account.

If you have questions about the safety of your money‚ call a DGEFCU member services representative at 1-877-784-5551. You may also call the NCUA Insurance Call Center from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.‚ Monday through Friday‚ toll-free at 1-800-755-1030‚ extension 1.
