If your money is in a typical bank account it will be FDIC insured up to a certain ammount (in the hundreds of thousands) and backed by the government.

Yes, it´s called the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, FDIC. You should check if your bank is insured by the FDIC. If it is, then if the bank fails, the FDIC will send a letter to your address on file at the bank. The FDIC insures up to $250,000 per account at a bank.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (commonly called the FDIC) insures deposits up to $100,000. If your bank goes bankrupt, you will be completely reimbursed if you have this amount or less in your accounts. The FDIC will probably contact you, but you can also get in touch with them if you want to make a claim.
