Federally insured credit unions could potentially receive arebate on corporate assessments, according to a Wednesday release fromthe NCUA. However, the final tally won't come until 2021, theregulator cautioned.

The net remaining stabilization fund projected assessment rangenow runs from negative $1.9 billion to negative $400 million,compared to the negative $200 million to $1.6 billion projectionfrom the second quarter of 2013, the NCUA said. As long as bothends of the range remain negative, there will likely be no need forfuture assessments, the agency added.

The net proceeds from the $1.4 billion JPMorgan Chase settlementin November 2013 and the continued improvement in the performanceof the legacy assets underlying the NCUA Guaranteed Notes (NGN)program during the third quarter of 2013 caused the decline in theassessment range.
