ADDITIONAL RULINGS
ON REINSTATEMENTS

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval OF the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions Of Treasury Decl-
sion No. AZ, allowing eighteen months
from the date of discharge for re-
instatement upon payment OF only
two months premiums on the amount
Of insurance to be reinstated, are re-
tanned. That decision is liberalzed,
however, by a new provision that
men out Of the service are permitted
to reinstate by merely paying the
two months premiums without max
ing a 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
effect that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge or at the
expiration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be re-
quired together with a written APP
plication for reinstatement and the
