VETS INSURANCE = Veterans
who have National Service Life In
surance or u. S. Government Life
Insurance policies in force, are
strongly urged to be certain the
beneficiary designations are cur
rent This is especially important
where the marital status of veter-
ans has changed since the last des-
ignation of beneficiary VISA filed
with the VA, said Leon Fields, man
! ager of the VA Regional Office.
Several recent cases have
brought to attention the fact that
veterans with families had failed
to change the original beneficiary
on their VA insurance policy when
they married. Upon the death OF
these veterans the insurance pro-
ceeds were paid to the beneficiary
shown on record at time of death,
and not the widow or children.
The local VA Office will gladly
help veterans in fling beneficiary
designation forms, Mr. Fields said.
