satisfactorily pass a physical

Some Ve’s May Have
Deb’s Deducted from
NSLI Dividend
Thousands of Georgia veterans
who owe the government money
as the result of overpayments of
subsistence allowance or other
benefits or defaults on GI loans
may find deductions made from
their National Service Life In
surance dividend, the Veterans
Administration disclosed today.
All or part of their share of
the forthcoming dividend may
be needed to cover their debts
to the government, according to
Vaux Owen, VA’ Georgia Region
al Manager.
All of the individuals concern
ed are aware of their indebt
edness to the government and
know that it is deductable from
other VA payments to which
they may be entitled. Mr Owen
pointed out.
Most of these debts were In
curred as the result of overpay
ments on subsistence allowance
to veterans taking education or
training under the GI Bill. Over
payments result when the vet
eran or the school or training
establishment fails to notify the
VA that training has been In
terrupted In thousands of cases,
veterans continued to receive
and cash subsistence checks to
which they were not entitled.
