IVA Mail Flood Begins
As Veterans Apply for
Insurance Refunds

Veterans Administration mail
was heavy today with applications
for CT insurance refunds.
Distribution Of application forms
began yesterday and District vet
Grams wasted no time in applying
for their share of the 81 300, ,000, 600
which the VA expects to distribute
early next year. Most of the ap-
proximately 100000 veterans in
the metropolitan area are eligible
for a dividend.
The amount each veteran will
receive is based on the face value
of his policy. his age when he
took it out and the length of time
he kept it in force.
The formula for determining the
precise amount each veteran will
receive has not yet been perfected,
the VA reported. Refund checks
will begin being mailed early in
January.
Refund blanks are available at
all post Offices, the central and
regional offices of the VA. Red
Cross Chapter Offices and the
Veterans Information Center. The
VA said it will distribute forms to
business firms and Government
agencies on request.
The District Department, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, has estab-
lished booth in the lobby of The
Evening Star Building where
application forms are distributed
and veterans are given whatever
assistance they may need in filling
them in properly. The booth re-
mains open until $3.50 pm. VFW
volunteers stating the booth,
which opened yesterday. said sew
eral hundred application blanks
have been distributed.
The Treasury Department has
announced that income tax COL
lectors will not attempt to claim
any part Of the veterans refund.
A formal ruling has not yet been
handed down, officials said, be-
cause no one has raised the ques-
ton. But the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue is all set to rule that the
rebate is not taxable.
