No. Liquidation is the only situation in which a member is directly provided share insurance protection by the payment of a check for his or her insured savings. However, indirect protection is provided when the NCUA Board, through the NCUSIF, authorizes financial assistance to a credit union to enable it to overcome a temporary financial setback. In a case where a credit union is unable to overcome its difficulty, financial assistance may be authorized to accomplish a merger that protects the continuing credit union from loss and provides continued credit union service to the members of the merging credit union.
