SWEETWATER, Fla.-NCUA said it will hold a public hearing on Sept. 23 related to a proposed field of membership expansion by Dade County FCU.

In all, the requested FOM would include 6.3 total people, should its request to add the two-million residents of Palm Beach and Monroe counties be approved.
DCFCU currently has approximately 107,000 members.
