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.
