dends on National Service Life IN
stirance:
NSLI is mutual insurance. All
premium payments go into trust
fund maintained by the Treasury
Department. This money is invest
ed in Government interest bearing
securities. The interest accrues to
the fund. This fund is known as
the National Service Life Insurance
Fund.
When claims are paid on NSLI in
surance-either because Of death
of the insured or because of ma
turement of endowment policies
they are paid from this National
Service Life Insurance Fund. Suf-
ficient reserves must be held in
the fund at all times to pay all pro-
bable future claims. Any residue
above this amount may periodically
be declared surplus, and--as is the
practice of commercial mutual nj
surance companies--this surplus is
returned proportionately to policy
holders in the form Of dividends.
These dividends are due most
policy holders for the period in
which they paid premiums-even
if many of those policies have lap
sed. During World War II, VA had
more than 100000 active accounts.
1t is estimated that 100000 polici-
es currently are in force.
To pay dividends, VA must first
determine what its reserve require
ments will be. This is largely de-
pendent upon the so-called ga
zove" case.
Until final decision is render
ed in the "Zazove" case which is
now in the process of appeal, VA,
cannot determine the extent of its
liability on existing policies. Until
this liability is fixed, it will be i'm
possible to determine what the sur
plus may be, or if there is to be
any surplus.
This factor delaying the payment
of dividends at this time results
from ruling of Chicago Federal
Court which conceivably could
greatly increase the liability of the
NSL1 fund in the payment of GER
tain types of claims.
In the event the Chicago ruling
is upheld, it could wipe out the
possibility Of a surplus in the NSLI
fund and prevent the payment of
dividends. This would greatly in
crease the reserve requirements of
this NSLI fund to provide pay
ment of future claims to benefici-
aries of policy holders.
To make final computation Of
dividend prior to the final out
come Of this case is impossible.
VA acknowledgement in the
development of dividend sale to
be used in computing payments to
holders of NSLI in event the Chi
cago courts finding in the "Za-
zove" case is reversed.
In the event dividends are to be
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1947-12-13

to each of more than 100000 Sc
parate accounts. The amount of
each dividend would be determin-
ed by the amount of insurance
carried, the period it was in force,
and the age of the insured.
1t is estimated that additional
employees would be required prin-
cipally in the Branch offices thru
out the country to make payment
of the dividends.
The VA is anxious to pay divi-
dends to NSLI policy holders as
soon as it can be determined that
the fund contains a surplus, the a.
mount, and to whom it should be
paid. VA will do everything pos
