than six months. Can my pol

of lapse, you are required to pay
only two monthly premiums and
submit a signed statement that
you are in as good health as at
I the time of lapse. You have
until January 1, 1947, to do this

under the GI Bill and received
subsistence payments of $75 a
month for me and my family. Am
I entitled to retroactive payments
since the subsistence allowance
has been increased to $90?
A. No. Payment of increased
subsistence allowances went into
effect January 1, 1946 and the
bill provides specifically that the
increased amount is payable as
of the first day of the first calen
i dar month following enactment
of the amended legislation. Date
i of the enactment was December
28, 1945.
