Failure of veterans to do so may result in the loss of their GI insurance unless they are able to pass a physical examina tion the VA said. GI policies issued in 1842.. a year of heavy recruitment by the armed services, have eight years to run before they must be converted or renewed, and vet erans must apply for their new policies before the old ones expire. Manv veterans, the VA said are not sure when they first took out their NSLI policies and need lesslv run the risk of losing their insurance protection because they don't know when their pol icies should be renewed. Should Check Even thoueh the VA will try to notify the veteran 60 days ahead of time before the ex piration date of his pi insurance policy, it is wise for him to check with the VA to determine the anniversary date of his in surance policy li ne isn t sure the VA said. Approximately one-third of the half-million veterans m tne Pacific northwest who have GI insurance pay their premioums during the 31-day "grace peri od," according to the VA. They, too. face the loss of their insur ance when it expires, because it mav no longer be in force when they get around to making ap plication for a converted policy or a renewal. The VA advised veterans to pay their premiums promptly and depend on the "grace period" only in times of real financial emergency.
