Dividenf To Veterans On
National Life Insurance
Policies Slated Next Year
WASHINGTON, June 20 (TP)
I Veterans Administrator Carl R.
Gray Jr. today authorized pay
I ment next vear of a special
, $2,800,000,000 dividend on nation
al service life insurance policies.
I Gray said he hopr-s veterans
! will begin receiving checks "some
; time In January, 1950," with pay
ment substantially completed in
the first half of that year.
The dividend payment has
been hopefully anticipated by
some economists as a stimulant
to purchasing power which
might help offset declining busi
ness activity.
About 16,000,000 vetprans of
World War II will receive the
dividends.
I This would average about $175
j for each ex'ierviceman, but the
i agency saiA Individual calcula
tions have not been completed.
' In general, every VPteran who
took out national service insur
1 ance and kept It in force at least
three months will be eligible.
Where policy-holders have died,
the henficiarles will receive the
funds, Gray said.
Application blanks for the divi
dends are being prepared and
may be available In August in
postoffices, veterans' service or
ganizations, and VA offices.
Meantime the administrator
a-.ked veterans not to write now
about their dividends because let
ters "will only cause the pay
ment to be delayed."
The special dividend will not
be paid on policies Issued after
January 1, 1948. But such poli
cies may participate In some
later dividend, Gray said.
The cut-off dae that Is. the
limit of time on which dividend
accumulations will be allowed
is the anniversary date of the
policy In 1948.
Government officials expect
the dividends to be spent prompt
ly and to provide a notleeahle
"shot In the arm" for business.
