0l Insurance
May Be Renewed
Without Exam

Government life insurance term
policies may now be renewed for
successive five-year periods with
out physical examinations as the
result of two amendments which
have been signed into law by the
President.
Public Law 104 grants this right
to holders Of National Service Life
Insurance and Public Law 101
contains a similar provision ap-
plicable to United States Govern
ment.
Previously, renewal was author
lied by Congress for one addition
al five-year period at a time. The
new legislation permits such re-
newals indefinitely.
The successive renewal periods
granted by the Congress for term
NSLI or USGLI policies apply
only to those contracts for which
the term period has not yet expi-
red.
Veterans still holding National
Service Life Insurance policies
that are within the original eight
or five year term periods are ad-
vised to make sure they renew
or convert before their term per-
iods expire. Otherwise they may
lose their right to further govern
ment insurance.
VA pointed out that tho prem
ium rate for term insurance in
creases each time it is renewed
for a new five-year term period,
in accordance with the age of the
insudred at the time of renew
al. Since term insurance becomes
expensive to carry ia the upper
age brackets, VA recommends
early conversion to a permanent
plan of insurance, for which The
premium remains the same for
the life Of the contract.
