Payable-on-Death (POD) Accounts
Your POD account is insured up to $250,000 for each beneficiary.
10

However, there are some requirements, including:

The account title must include a term such as:
payable-on-death
in trust for
as trustee for
Your beneficiaries must be identified by name in your bank’s deposit account records.
You can only name “qualifying” beneficiaries. These would be your:
spouse
child
grandchild
parent
sibling
10
Others—including in-laws, cousins, and charities—do not qualify. Therefore, if you set up a POD account naming your three children as beneficiaries, each child’s interest would be FDIC insured for up to $250,000, and your account could have $750,000 in potential coverage.

Wouldn't that be for $1,000,000? You plus your three children?
