As of April 2006 the FDIC coverage for IRA's was increased to $250,000 from $100,000. This only includes money invested in bank deposites such as CD's and Money Market accounts and does not include Mutual Funds, Stock, Bonds, or Annuities. If you have non qualified accounts with the same bank you would receive $100.000 in coverage for those per person in addition to the $250,000 for the IRA account bringing your total coverage in those cases to $350,000. Married couples are eligible for $700,000 using the above information with the ability to increase this to 1.1 million with using living trusts or POD (payable on death) accounts.

Notes: Money Market mutual funds are not covered.
