HOW WAR RISK
INSURANCE IS
NOW PAYABLE

sex-vices rendered and for appliances
furnished.”
Provisions of the new law liberaliz
ing the insurance provisions of the
^ original war risk act also were ex
plained by Mr. Sweet, who enumer
ated numerous benefits to the veter
ans that will result from his bill.
“The original law confined and re
stricted the beneficiaries to a very
limited class,” said Mr. Sweet, “but
the new daw increases this class aixd
also extends the definition of the
texnns ‘father’ and ‘mother’ to include
^ persons who have stood in loco pa
rentis (place of parents) to a mem
ber of the military service for at least
one year.
“There are many cases where the
soldier or sailor has designated an
aunt or uncle or someone who has
been in the position of parent to him
prior to entering the war. These per
sons, under the original law, were not
within the permitted class of benefi
ciaries, and the intention of the sol
* dier was thus defeated, and the insur
^ ance would go to the father, if living,
who has perhaps never paid any at
tention to the boy. With the new pro
Tisions of the law. if the soldier had
designated his aunt who in reality
has been a mother to him, she will
in fact become his beneficiary, and re
ceive the insurance money. These
Ranges are made reti’oactive to the
date of the passage of the original war
risk insurance act.
“Then, too. the new law permits
converted insurance to be made as
signable; that is. a beneficiary can
make assignment of his interest to
another person, provided that the lat
ter is within the permitted class of
beneficiaries.
“Another change in the insurance
provisions provides that automatic in
surance is provided for the first 120
days after a person’s admission to the
military service. This automatic in
surance, amounting to the payment of
$25 a month for twenty years, was un
der the original law granted only for
the first six months of the life of the
original act. The extension under the
new law will cost the government
about $6,500,000. Incidentally the ex
tension grants the insurance to all of
the officers and crew of the naval col
lier Cyclops, which disappeared at sea
in 1918 when bringiing a cargo of war
ore from South America.
“For the unfortunate ex-service men
confined in asylums, the new law
gives the immediate benefits of the
insurance without awaiting the ap
poirJ lent of guardians. Money pay
able to such persons will be placed in
the treasury to their credits, and may
T be disbursed to the chief executive of
ficer of the asylum for the niainte
nance and comfort of the inmate.
“Another change in the insurance
provisions is that authorizing the in
surance to ,be paid to the ex-service
Oman’s estate where no one of the per
mitted class of beneficiaries survives
the insured.
“To dispose of the so-called ‘induct
ed man’ problem, provision is made
that if, after induction by the local
draft board, but before accepted and
enrolled at camp for active service,
the person dies or has become dis
abled by injury—such as by a train
wreck en route to camp—or by dis
* ease not due to willful misconduct,
that he shall receive compensation, as
increased by the new law, and further,
if application was made for insurance,
that it shall be deemed valid.”
