Q. If a lender turns down a
veteran’s application for a
loan, what should the vet
eran do?
A. He should see another
lender. The fact that one
lender is not interested
does not indicate that ano
ther may not be. One
lender may not wish to
make the type of loan the
veteran wants.
Q. Can 1 get a loan guar
anteed or insured to con
struct more than a single
family home?
A. Yes, but one veteran
cannot get a guaranteed or
insured loan to buy or build
more than a four-family
home. If more than one
veteran is buying, then the
basic four-family home is
allowed for the group and
this may be increased by
ione additional family unit
| for each veteran partici
pating: thus two veterans
lean buy or build a six-fam
ily home, three veterans a
seven-family home. etc.
I
j Q. How many hospital beds
are there in veterans’ hos
pitals?
A. The total number of ex
isting beds of all types is
94,817 in 106 VA hospitals.
The proposed expansion
program of the Veterans
Administration will bring
this total to 161,832.
Q. What are the most im
portant provisions of the
amended bill regarding
National Service Life In
surance?
A. Three new type perma
nent policies—20 year en
dowment, endowment at
the age of 60 and endow
ment at the age of 65.
All restrictions on the
choice of beneficiaries im
posed by the original act
have been removed.
Insured may have pay
ments made to the benefi
ciary in lump sum or in
equal installments ranging
from 36 to 240 months.
Previously, the only me
thod of settlement provid
ed was monthly income or
annual payments.
Q. At present I am work
ing part-time and collect
ing partial readjustment al
lowance. Because of the
reduced payment, am I eli
gible to collect for a longer
period of time than the un
employed veteran.
A. Each time a veteran re
ceives a payment of a week
ly allowance, regardless of
the dollar amount of the
payment, he has used up
one week of the limited
number of allowances to
which he may be entitled.
