“Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.”

I don’t think they have a choice. Congress decided for them.




The losses to the fund have to be recovered via special assessment.

The magnitude of losses to the fund is discretionary.


I don’t think the accounting of losses to the fund is actually discretionary, if they lose money they have to report it, they can’t just re-define the fund as marginally smaller than it was before. I don’t think I understand what you mean.
