Vets Forum
There are three worries that
plague every man.
One is the fear that he will not
live long enough to see that his
family is cared for. Ordinary life
insurance is recognized as the
answer to this worry. Another fear
is that he will live “too long" and
not have enough to live on. An
I endowment policy can provide for
I old age.
i The third and perhaps the most
\ frightening fear is that he might
become disabled so that he can
no longer work.
The government has also pro
j vided for that last contingency in
1 two ways in National Service Life
Insurance. The first is a part of
i every policy without extra charge
to the veteran, known as the pre
mium waiver clause. It provides
! that if you become totally disabled
I continuously for a six months’
j perior or longer, future premiums
| will be paid by the government.
No lien will be made against the
policy because of premiums
waived. In addition, any premium
payments mt.de after the estab
lished date of disability are re
funded.
It is important to remember
that total disability as applicable
to this clause, is not necessarily
the same as that for pension and
compensation purposes. For in
surance purposes, total disability
is defined as any impairment of
the mind or body which continu
ously renders it impossible for the
insured to follow any substantially
gainful occupation.
Another clause, known as in
surance disability income, may be
added to your policy for a small
extra premium. A physical exami
nation is required to establish evi- ,
deuce of good health. This rider 1
provides that should you become I
totally and continuously disabled .
for a period of six months or
more, an income of $5 per month
per SI,000 of insurance will be
paid beginning with the first day
of the seventh month and con
tinuing as long as the disability
exists. Both disability features are
effective until your 60th birthday,
but if disability begins before
reaching your 60th birthday, the
government will not discontinue
the benefits for that reason.
Any veteran who has estab
lished a war-incurred or war-ag
gravated disability (other than
total in degree) has the same
privilege of buying tlx; disability
insurance or reinstating or buying
new insurance from now until
Jauary 1, 1950, as a veteran in
perfect health.
Your VA contact office located
in Room 114 Physical Education
Bldg, can give you more detailed
information about your National
Service Life Insurance.
