People Helping People: Big Brothers Big Sisters

We gave Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals $500 for their efforts during COVID-19.

Editorial Note: Articles published are intended to provide general information and educational content related to personal finance, banking, and credit union services. While we strive to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information presented, it should not be considered as financial advice and may be revised as needed.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations adjusted their practices and provided relief to people in need throughout their communities. Listerhill assisted these organizations by featuring them and donating $500 to their efforts! This article features Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals.

The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Most of their staff were able to successfully work remotely while others came into the office on occasion. They also purchased hand sanitizer, face masks, disinfectant supplies, and practiced social distancing.

Some of their matched Bigs and Littles are like family to each other. During the proceeding school year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals provided children with eMentors or Big Brothers/Big Sisters with weekly homework help, social interaction, physical activity and respite for parents/guardians. Volunteers also acted (and continue to act) as watchdogs for children who may be at risk of abuse and neglect.

Applying to become a volunteer is the best way to contribute to the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals, but financial support is also needed to keep their programs going. They always welcome donations of copy paper and other office supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when federally insured credit unions merge?

If a member has accounts in credit union A and credit union B, and credit union A merges into credit union B, accounts of credit union A continue to be insured separately from the share deposits of credit union B for six months after the date of the merger or, in the case of a share certificate, the earliest maturity date after the six-month period. In the case of a share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed at the same dollar amount, either with or without accrued dividends having been added to the principal amount, and for the same term as the original share certificate, the separate insurance applies to the renewed share certificate until the first maturity date after the six-month period. A share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed on any other basis, or that is not renewed, is separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.
What happens if a federally insured credit union is liquidated?

The NCUA would either transfer the insured member's account to another federally insured credit union or give the federally insured member a check equal to their insured account balance. This includes the principal and posted dividends through the date of the credit union's liquidation, up to the insurance limit.
If a credit union is liquidated, what is the timeframe for payout of the funds that are insured if the credit union cannot be acquired by another credit union?

Federal law requires the NCUA to make payments of insured accounts "as soon as possible" upon the failure of a federally insured credit union. While every credit union failure is unique, there are standard policies and procedures that the NCUA follows in making share insurance payments. Historically, insured funds are available to members within just a few days after the closure of an insured credit union.
What happens to members with uninsured shares?

Members who have uninsured shares may recover a portion of their uninsured shares, but there is no guarantee that they will recover any more than the insured amount. The amount of uninsured shares they may receive, if any, is based on the recovery of the failed credit union's assets. Depending on the quality and value of these assets, it may take several years to conclude recovery on all the assets. As recoveries are made, uninsured account holders may receive periodic payments on their uninsured shares claim.
What happens to my direct deposits if a federally insured credit union is liquidated?

If a liquidated credit union is acquired by another federally insured credit union, all direct deposits, including Social Security checks or paychecks delivered electronically, will be automatically deposited into your account at the assuming credit union. If the NCUA cannot find an acquirer for the liquidated credit union, the NCUA will advise members to make new arrangements.
