GIVE SERVICE MEN
CHANCE To RESUME
THEIR INSURANCE

In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled a chance to reinstate
their insurance, a special blanket rul-
ing has been made which allows all ex
service men to reinstate their insurance
before December 81, 1919.
This ruling includes men who have
been out of service for IS months or
more and who were barred from re-
instatement under a former ruling.
The bulletin on additional rulings on
reinstatement issued by the bureau of
war risk insurance, follows:
"A series of decisions issued by tina
director of the Bureau of War Risk in
surance with the approval of the secre
tary of the treasury provides more Ii
beral conditions for reinstatement OF
lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions of treasury decision
No. A. allowing eighteen months from
the date of discharge for reinstatement
upon payment of only two months
premiums on the amount of insurance
to be reinstated, are retained. That
decision is liberaliZed, however, by y
new provision that men out of the ser
4 vice are permitted to reinstate by
merely paying the two months pre-
niums without making statement as
| to health at any time within three
| calendar months following the month
of discharge.
After the three months following
/ the date of discharge have elapsed, a
statement from the applicant to the eff
feet that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration Of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be required
together with written application for
reinstatement and the tender of two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been Cancelled, q, fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out Of the service
eighteen months or more, and who are
therefore barred from reinstatement
under the former ruling, a special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all eX-service men to reinstate their
insurance before December 81, 1919,
provided that each applicant is in as
; good health as at date of discharge or
at expiration of the grace period,
= whichever is the later date, and So
; states in his application. Of course, it
+ is necessary that he tender the two
. months premiums on the amount OF
J insurance he wishes to reinstate.
y Service men who reinstated their
r insurance by payment of all back pre-
n miums prior to July %, 1919, when the
: decision requiring payment of only two
= months premiums went into effect
4 upon written application to the bureau
may have any premiums paid in ex-
cess of two applied toward the pay
q ment of future premiums. For exam
n pie, if after a policy had lapsed for si1
= months, a man reinstated and paid si2
n months premiums instead of two HI
II may secure credit for four months
- premiums.
. THE provisions for reinstatement
4 do not protect a man until he actual,
70 reinstates. If he waits he may not b
y, in as good health as he was at the tim
n of dischare and consequently may 10
=. be able to secure reinstatement.
