SAVING GI INSURANCE . The Veterans' Administration is disturbed over the number of demobilized soldiers who are allowing their national service life insurance to lapse. Or perhaps the VA's
which is keeping veterans from reinstating this valuable and)
reasonable iii insurance, ror the reinstatement process is neither expensive-nor difficult. All the veteran need do is pay two months' premuims and complete a comparative health statement, no matter how long the policy has been lapsed. There is no additional physical examination required. The veteran also has eight years, if he wishes to take that long, in which to convert the GI policy 1 into ordinary, , 20-payment or 30-payment life insurance. Under such simple and painless conditions, there seems no reason or excuse for veterans to deny themselves and their families the benefit of this wartime protection for the rest of their lives especially since, if difficulties or misunderstandings do arise, the VA is always on hand to assist.
