§ 14902 Credit Union Dividend Rules
A credit union can only pay dividends if it first puts the required money into its regular reserve, and it cannot pay a dividend that would make its profits account go negative.
A credit union earned extra money this year and wants to give members a dividend.
Before paying the dividend, the credit union must move the legally required portion of its income into its regular reserve. If paying the dividend would leave the undivided profits account with less money than it started with (a deficit), the dividend cannot be paid.
