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.
