How long after a bank account has been closed is the FDIC coverage available? What determines the amount of the FDIC coverage per accounts lifetime?
Once an account is closed, there is no FDIC insurance coverage because there is no balance to insure. FDIC coverage amounts are based on ownership of an account and the balance in the account at a moment in time, the end of the processing day on the day a bank fails or is taken over by the FDIC. There is no lifetime limit to FDIC coverage.
