WET OUT OUR WAY Applications For Vets' Insurance Soon To Be Ready Application blanks for the $2, 800,000,000 National Service Life Insurance special dividend to be paid to some 16,000.000 Dresent and former policyholders will he avanaie lor veterans Aug. 2'J. the Veterans Administration has announced. Government Printing office currently is running off 70,000, 000 of the forms, advance sam ples of which have been released. The forms will be available in every postoffice, VA office and at veterans' service organiza tions beginning Aug. 29, which is the earliest date the Government Printing office can complete dis tribution of the huge order. In making samples of the ap plication card available, the VA said the cards may not be repro duced lor distribution, since they become part of the permanent records of the VA, and must be on a special paper and of a cor rect size to fit computing and recording machines. Any off-si.e standard or off-size paper will only serve to delay processing, as the cards will have to be thrown out of (he production line. As official forms will not be available, any dividend applica tions received prior to Aug. 29, the VA emphasized, will be dis carded and no attempt made to process them. What Veteran Needs To Do AU the veteran needs to do is to obtain the application, which is a three-fold card containing til the instructions necessary to get the dividend, then fill it out and mail It to the VA. In event the veteran does not know the number of his Insurance policy, the application can readily be Identified by service number, rank and the exact name used during service with the armed forces. It will be unnecessary for vet erans to write about their insur ance number or about the status of their dividend application, the VA said. The VA will mail eaeji veteran a part of the application form to show that It has been received and is being processed. Writing will only delay payment because It will be necessary to withdraw the application from the application line. Mailing of checks will start sometime in January of next year.
