Veterans Reducing Amount
Of Insurance
m
About 56.7 per cent of the Na
tional Service Life Insurance that
Alaska veterans carried while in
service has been allowed to lapse,
according to a survey made by the
Veterans Administration.
For about a month, VA contact
representatives have been ques
ioning all veterans who came in
) inquire about insurance in an
! effort to ascertain what they are
loing about reinstatement and
conversion. Up to Nov. 9, some 792
tterans in the Territory had
oeen queried.
It was found that about 13.3
jer cent of the insurance which
had lapsed since veterans left the
service has been reinstead. Many
veterans, however, have reduced
the amount of insurance they are
carrying. The average policy
holder contacted in the survey
carried $9649 while in service,
compared with $7574 now. The
average veteran who has convert
ed his policy to a permanent form
only carries $4683 of insurant'.
. 1 he survey showed that abt
16.1 per cent of the veterans si
carying NSLI have converted th
term insurance to some perma
ent form. Of these, the larg,
group has converted to 20-pay li
the type which calls for the hi
est premiums. About 64 per cc
have converted to 20-pay life, '
per cent to ordinary life, and H
per cent to 30-pay life.
Few veterans have converted
the three new forms made ava
able by an amendment to tin* j
surance law last August. About i
per cent have converted to 20-yc
endowment, 0.0 per cent to endo
ment at age 60. and 0.8 per cc
to endowment at age 65.
Many veterans are keeping the
term insurance as long as possit
because they receive more prote
tion for each dollar paid in pi
miums. Those who have permitt
it to lapse may reinstate befo
Feb. 1, 1947, without a physic
examination by the payment
two months’ premiums.
