Meet your congressman, Chet Edwards

Even though we can’t endorse any politician, we feel obligated to inform you of the following. 

Our credit union is headquartered in the 17th Congressional District, and is represented by Congressman Chet Edwards in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Edwards had this to say about credit unions in a letter to the Texas Credit Union League:

"I opposed legislation to tax credit unions... I recognize that some banks favor taxing credit unions. I think this is the wrong approach, and instead believe we should work on a reduction in taxes for community banks. I could support this proposal but will not support taxing credit unions."

We appreciate the Congressman's support for not-for-profit credit unions. Thank you Congressman Edwards!

Retirement accounts now insured up to $250,000

As we recently informed you, your individual retirement accounts are federally insured (as all accounts are at MCU) up to $250,000.

Here are a couple of Q&A’s regarding the increase in insurance:

A member has a traditional IRA, Roth IRA and Keogh plan at our credit union. Are all three accounts insured to $250,000?

IRAs and Keoghs are insured separately from each other and from other accounts that a member maintains in the same credit union. However, while Keoghs are insured separately from IRAs, all of the traditional and Roth IRAs owned by a member are added together in applying the $250,000 insurance limit.

Are Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and Health Savings Accounts also eligible for the $250,000 insurance coverage under the final rule?

No, only certain retirement accounts, such as traditional and Roth IRAs and Keogh accounts are covered by $250,000 in deposit insurance coverage.
