NEWS FOR VETERANS

All persons in active serv-
ice or recently discharged
who have CT insurance under
in-service premium waiver
should make sure Veterans
Administration has an accu-
rate record of their insurance
beneficiaries.
The advice applies particu-
larly to those who have mar
ried or were divorced after
applying for the insurance,
according to VA.
Veterans Administration
said some service personnel
who have CT insurance under
in-service premium waiver
are under the mistaken i'm
preston they have service
mems indemnity coverage
instead of insurance.
The beneficiaries of serv-
icemen's indemnity are limit
ed by law to wife; child or
children; mother, father, and
brother, sister. No designa-
ton is required if the service
man desires payment in that
order.
CT insurance, on the other
hand, permits a wider range
of beneficiaries, with no par
ticular order stipulated by
law.
VA said typical example
of the misunderstanding of
the difference between in
demnity coverage and CT in
surance occurred at a military
post recently.
