Veterans To Get $223 Million In Dividends
Veterans holding G. I insur
ance policies will receive $223
million in dividends during 1963,
W. R. Phillips, Manager of the
Veterans Administration Re
gional Office, announced today.
Dividends will be paid on the
anniversary dates of the policies
with dividend payments begin
ning January 1, Phillips said.
For approximately four mil
lion World War II veterans, their
National Service Life Insurance
dividend will total $208 million.
The average payment will be
$52. The 1967 dividend totaled
$196 million. Individual pay
ments averaged $46.
The dividend for some $190
OOOWorld War I veterans with
United States Government Life
Insurance will total $15 million,
with payments averaging | W.
The 1967 - dividend also totaled
$15 million but averaged $8 less.
While dividends will vary ac
cording to plan, age and amount
of insurance coverage, Phillips
pointed out that veterans who
converted their G. I.- insurance to
permanent plans will get higher
dividends in 1968 because of in
creased interest earnings on re
serves. Modified life insurance
policies will not share in next
year's dividend since premium
rates for 212,000 veteran* hold
ing these policies are' so pemr
actual costs that no surplus has
accumulated.
About half of the four million
World Wat n NHLI policies are
"permanent plan," Phillips amid.
By contrast, ?il but 2,500 of tbe
USOLI policies h eld 1* 100,0*0
World War I veterans ate per
