Beneficiaries will be paid by that
day too. They don't have to apply.
Legal heirs of veterans whose in
surance lapsed don't have to

won't all be paid of by June 80.
So if you "a veteran) have ap-

beat it to the post office, get an
other APPLICATION and send it in.)
Also give your address. all your
service serial numbers and the
number of your NSLI policy.
AS the VA explained to me. the
! dividend payment has taken q
long time and many checks have
been delayed ito make sure we
are paying the proper individual

policy"
Now, If your check came through
but you have a grippe about the
amount. write the VA district Of
flee handling your insurance
account. Instructions came with
the check telling you about that.
About 100000 entitled to their
share of the $2.8 billion NSLL re-
fund haven't even applied in spite
of all the news put out about it.
They don't have to hurry. how
ever. Applications are still coming

and there's no deadline. That June

a wind-up date the VA set for
itself when about 1890 employees,

dividend. will be laid off.
If you're one Of those 10000
who haven't applied, the VA tells
me you can expect payment about
two weeks after you do apply-if
you fill out the card completely
and nothing puts you in the diff
cult case" bunch.
The checks average SITS. About
IA million have already gone out.
That's a lot of coin to spread
around the country. and don't
think 1t hasn't made itself felt.
The Government hasn't run any
surveys on how the dividend is
being spent, but a spokesman for
the Federal Reserve Board told me
he thought it had been a "stimu-

and would continue to be so. He
said personal savings have gone
up sharply this year, and would
continue to be so. He said per-
sonal savings have gone up sharply
this year. and he thought a good
bit of it was because veterans were
using their dividends to build up
cash balances. buy bonds or pay
of debts.
1t has cost $12.5 million just to
distribute the dividend, but the
VA says the expense will be worth
it because when the Job is done
all NSLI records will be in order,
audited and verified.
