S/ Robert W. Johns Sheriff, Brantley County, Georgia Vets May Use Dividends To Buy More Insurance Atlanta—A recently-passed public law will provide holders of National Service Life Insur ance policies with an opportu nity to purchase more insur ance protection by using their dividends to purchase addi tional paid-up insurance. The new law will become effective July 1, 1972, and Georgia Veterans Service Di rector Pete Wheeler today outlined some of the law’s provisions. “Policyholders may re quest that any dividends due and payable on National Ser vice Life Insurance be used to buy paid-up additional insur ance which is insurance re quiring no further payment of premiums. When added to life policies they continue until death. In the case of endow ment policies, they mature with the endowment. “Any dividends or divi dends on deposit on policies other than endowments may be used only to buy paid-up whole life additions. Any divi dends or dividends on deposit on endowment policies may be used only to buy paid-up endowment additions which mature concurrently with the basic policy.” As an example, Wheeler said that a veteran, 50 years old who is due S7O in divi dends for one year can pur chase $157 of paid-up insur ance. A 50-year old veteran who has SSOO in dividends on deposit may purchase $1,120 of insurance. “Proof of good health is not required in applying for these paid-up additions,” said Wheeler, but he added, “The dividend can only be used to buy the paid-up additions on the policy on which the divi dend is earned.” Beginning in June 1972 the veterans will receive a letter from the VA asking them if they wish to participate in the paid-up insurance program. Complete information on all veterans’ insurance pro grams may be obtained from any office of the Georgia Department of Veterans Ser vice.
