Holders Of Service
Insurance Policies
To Receive Dividends

Servicemen and veterans who held
National Service Life Insurance pol
icies will be eligible for a dividend
as soon as the Veterans Admins
tration can compute the surplus of
premium receipts over benefit pay
ments, it was learned today.
A VA spokesman estimated it
would take the agency "at least a
year" to check 100000 policies
held by 100000 different policy
holders before the amount of the
refund could be determined in each
case.
The reason for the surplus, he
asserted, is not that the Government
overestimated the number of battle
casualties in the war, but that a
margin OF safety had been allowed
in fixing payments.
Payments on policies which ma
ture as a result of death or total
disability due to the hazards of war,
he pointed out. come from a sep
Iarate congressional appropriation,
mot from the fund or premium re-
ceipts from policyholders.
The only payments made from
National Service Life Insurance
premiums, the spokesman said, were
those arising from death by natural
causes, not directly attributable to
the war. The only effect a rela-
lively low combat casualty rate
would have, he said, would be that
a higher percentage of policyholders
would continue to pay their premi-
ums throughout the war.
In addition to policies maturing
from natural deaths, he said,
gratuitous benefits of 5000 were
paid in the case of servicemen who
died within 120 days of entering the
armed forces and who had not yet
taken out any insurance. The same
gratuitous benefits were paid to nom
policyholders who died as American
prisoners of war.
Computation of benefits, the
spokesman revealed, will be based
on the age of the policyholder, the
amount of insurance he carried, and
the length of time he made premium
payments.
He sal dhe thought persons who
held policies only for a very brief
period might not be given any pay
ments, but "a substantial number,
including those who have let their
policies lapse, would be eligible.
