Apparently so:

Rescue law 101: What it says - Oct. 3, 2008

The bill will also temporarily increase the level of federal insurance for credit union savings to $250,000.

By the way, it's stupid for this to be "temporary", because you'd just cause a run on all assets between $100K and $250K when it expired, and you'd be in this mess again.

I was at the bank today and they did clarify the increase is to $250K for one year only. Congress' rating is 9% approval for average Americans. For intelligent people it must be at zero to get that high an average.
