Insurance Policies Veterans should check their GI insurance from time to time to make certain their policies do what they intend Ihem to do, the Veterans administration advises.

First, a veteran should check the amount of insurance he Is carrying. He mav not need to carry the full $10,000 the law al lows. On the other hand, if he is carrying less than the full amount and can afford more, he may want to increase his Insur ance coverage. Second, he should check the type of Insurance he is carrying. Besides term insurance, a veter an may choose any one of six permanent plans, or any combi nation of them. Third, he should decide who is to get his insurance money and how It is to be paid. A veteran may designate anyone as a ben eficiary, or name more than one if he chooses. He may also change beneficiaries at any time. Insurance benefits mav he paid under any one or a combination of four difforent plans.
