Today, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would impose special assessments to recover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) arising from the FDIC’s protection of uninsured depositors in the wake of the two significant bank closings in March 2023. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires the FDIC to recover any losses to the DIF as a result of protecting uninsured depositors through a special assessment. The law also provides the FDIC authority to consider the types of entities that benefited the most from the assistance provided.
