2 ,Th Nawi-RaWew, Roeburg, Ore. Sot., Dec. 10, 1949 Insurance Pay Plans Fop Vets Hit Large Snag WASHINGTON (P) The Vet. erans administration has run Into some problems in Its plans to pay veterans a 52,800,000,000 insur ance dividend in order of their serial numbers. Some World War II veterans It develops, never had a serial number. Some had more than one. Of those with more than one serial number, some had more than one insurance policy. The first two problems have been solved, with only one nitcn: The veterans involved can't toll when thev will receive their mon' ey. Officials are still trying to decide what to do anout vets wun multiple serial numbers and poli cies. For most veterans, the checks will start going out In January, with precedence based on the last three digits ol the insured per son's serial number. The "000" group will be paid first; the "999 people last. That won't apply to some 15, 000 former Coast Guard officers who got along without serial num bers during the war. They will be assigned numbers nrbltrarily from a series never used by any service. But they won't know what tne numoors are until iney get their checks. Veterans who had more than one serial number like enlisted men who later became officers probably will be paid according to tne nignest number they had, 1 The complications develop when such veterans had more than one '' policy. They will be paid accord' ing to one of their old serial num' bers, but no one yet knows which one. One other group of veterans may collect its dividends slightly off-schedule. It consists of those whose last names are more than 15 letters long, and wouldn't fit on the special tabulation cards. Their applications will be pro cessed by hand, and there Is a chance they will be paid ahead of schedule. For the bulk of the applicants, the first checks will start through the mall around the middle of next month, with the final pay menst coming in April, or pos sibly later. GUILTY VERDICE .
