Glossary term Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC): The federal corporation chartered by Congress in 1934 to insure deposits in savings institutions. The FSLIC also served as a conservator or receiver for troubled or failed insured savings associations. Effective April 1, 1980, for insured savings and loan institutions, the FSLIC insured savings accounts up to $100,000. The FSLIC functioned under the direction of the FHLBB, which provided certain administrative services and conducted the examination and supervision of insured savings and loan associations. In 1989, Congress abolished the FSLIC, transferring its resolution, conservatorship, and receivership functions to the RTC and its responsibilities for the deposit insurance fund to the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC.
