VA ANNOUNCES RATE OF PAY i
FOR INSURANCE DIVIDEND
The Veterans Administration has
announced the proposed dividend
scale by which it will divide up a
special $2,800,000,000 National Serv
ice Life Insurance dividend among
some sixteen million World War II
veterans.
Maximum possible amount that
any veteran can receive will be
$528. The dividend will be paid on
both term and conyerted insurance
policies, and will be paid only for
the period that the policy was in
force prior to the policy anniver
sary in 1948. No payments will be
made for periods of lapse.
The VA said the estimated rate
of the dividend was arrived at after
long actuarial studies, and that the
rate of payment will be the same
for both term and converted poli
cies.
In computing the maximum pay
ment of $528, the dividend was
based on a $10,000 policy in force
for 96 months (the longest pos
sible period), on a veteran aged 40
or less at the time the policy was
taken out. This represents a pay
ment of 55 cents a month per $1000
of insurance. As the mortality rate
for the age group of 40 and under
did not vary greatly, a single divi
dend rate will apply to this whole
group.
The rates of payment will be:
Those under 40 years of age at the
rate of 55 cents per month per
$1000 of insurance; those 41 to 45
years of age, scaling down from 52
Cents td 40 cents; ’ithdsft 46 to 50,
37 cents down to 25 cents; those

Question of the Week
Q. Does the fact that I receive
other substantial income have any
bearing on the amount of compen
sation I get as a veteran with a
service-connected di&abflity? r
A. No, Since, ywr cpmpenpatiop
is for a service-connected disability
and is determined by the degree of
disablement, the amount of income
you have does not affect the
amount of compensation allowed
you.
Temptation? and tramps are sim
