Section 6:808 - Insufficient funds; noticesA. Whenever the proportion of receipts ordinarily made applicable to the demands of withdrawing members or depositors is not sufficient to pay all such demands for either savings accounts or shares, including those accounts which have matured due to an emergency situation, within sixty days from the date of application for withdrawal, applications for withdrawal shall be paid out of funds available as hereinafter set forth and shall be liquidated as follows: (1) The applicant first on the list shall be paid one thousand dollars on account, or in full if the amount of the notices for withdrawal or the unpaid balance of such application is less than one thousand dollars. For any balance remaining due the applicant after the aforesaid payment, the application shall be transferred at once to the bottom of the withdrawal list and no further payments shall be made except as hereinafter set forth, until the applicant's name again appears at the head of the withdrawal list. Each other applicant shall be treated in exactly the same manner and reached in order. All new applicants shall be placed at the bottom of the list immediately upon the filing of their respective applications.(2) In addition to the above, the board of directors may use its discretion in meeting on demand at all times all applications for withdrawals for either savings accounts or shares by members or depositors whose entire claim in the savings accounts or shares respectively amounts to less than two hundred dollars. Additionally, the board of directors in its discretion may pay the sum of not more than one hundred dollars per month to any applicant on the withdrawal list. Such payments of one hundred dollars per month shall be made only when emergency circumstances justify the payment and only after a thorough investigation of each applicant has been made. These emergency applications shall be kept on file in the association's office.(3) When an application to withdraw is reached for payment as provided above, a written notice shall be sent to the applicant by mail at his last address as recorded on the books, and unless the applicant shall apply in person or in writing for such withdrawal within thirty days from the date of such notice, no payment on account of such application shall be made and such application shall be cancelled.B. In no event shall an association voluntarily or involuntarily delay or postpone the whole or partial payment of the value of any savings account or share pursuant to a written withdrawal application for a period exceeding sixty days following the receipt of such application without first notifying the commissioner, and, in the case of an association whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, said corporation. No association can obligate itself to pay withdrawals on any plan other than authorized in this Chapter.Acts 1970, No. 234, §1. Acts 1983, No. 675, §1.Acts 1970, No. 234, §1. Acts 1983, No. 675, §1.
