LUMP SUM SETTLEMENTS
AVAILABLE ON INSURANCE
Veterans who objected to Na
tional Service life insurance be
cause their beneficiaries could not
obtain lump-sum settlements may
now choose from several types of
payments, the Veterans Adminis

The new insurance law provides
for optional settlements including
lump-sum payment. Under the or- ^

authorized were monthly income
or annuity payments. I
Any veteran who wishes to
change the type of settlement on
his policy should contact the VA
immediately. If no change is re
quested payment will be in 36
equal installments.

admission?” . . . Murray shrugged
“Well, I created a campaign issue,
didn’t I?” I
