 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Unclaimed Deposits Amendments Act of 1993 - Amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Federal Credit Union Act to direct the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), and the National Credit Union Administration Board (NCUAB) respectively, in their capacity as receiver, to transfer certain unclaimed insured deposits to the custody of the appropriate State authority for disposition according to its abandoned or unclaimed property laws (thus precluding inadvertent forfeiture of long-term certificates of deposits by owners who were unaware of the need to file claims against the failed institution). Provides for such a transfer when a State accepts the offer. Requires the appropriate regulatory agency, if a State rejects such an offer, to permit a depositor to make a claim against the agency until the receivership ends.

Reverts all such transferred unclaimed insured deposits back to the FDIC, RTC, or the NCUAB if they remain unclaimed for a ten-year period.

Applies such disposition procedures retroactively to deposits in institutions closed after January 1, 1989 (except for certain institutions in closed receiverships or credit unions fully liquidated before the enactment of this Act).

Permits depositors who inadvertently forfeited their insured deposits ("qualifying depositors") to file claims with either the FDIC, the RTC, or the NCUAB, as appropriate.
