Ifce Veterans Adtoipistratloi
suggests that GI insurance pol
icyflotders who receive VA com
pensation or pension payment!
may want to consider having
their insurance premiums de
ucted from their monthly check
In making that suggest, W. R
Phillips, Manager of the Wins
ton-Salem Veterans Administra
Lion Regional Office, said aiboui
a quarter of a miflion veter am
already pay their insurant*
premiums this way.
He pointed out that in ordei
to u$e this convenient method
the, veteran’s monthly benefii
check must be equal to or greet
or than the premium to be paid
Phillips said one of the advan
tages of the deduction method ii
hharf- payments of premiums are
automatic, reducing the likeli
hood that the insurance wil
lapse.
Utner advantages are mat
veteran saves time, check 01
money order costs, and postage
and its costs the government les!
to process, Phillips explained.
He also said veterans with ac
tive VA insurance policies maj
use the monthly deduction' meth
od to repay loans on their pol
ides.
Phillips added that veterans
who draw retirement pay iron
the military services also maj
have VA insurance premiums de
ducted from their checks, bn
explained that technically thej
cannot repay policy loam
through this method.
To switch to the deductior
method, military retirees shoulc
request their finance, otffices t<
withhold VA insurance pram
iutiis and send them directly tc
the VA.,
Both military retirees and vet
erans who draw benefit checki
from the VA must pay insurance
premiums through the month
