Transaction Account Deposit Insurance Coverage Study (HR8090)
Current understanding
HR8090 would direct the FDIC and NCUA to conduct an analysis of whether deposit insurance coverage on covered transaction accounts should be raised above current statutory limits. The bill does not itself increase coverage; it requires a study, revisiting a policy debate that has recurred since the 2008 crisis and the 2023 regional bank failures. Status: introduced.
