For (all information contact rour nrarcal VETERANS ADMINISTRATION office Veterans in the North Carolina Virginia-West Virginia area stand to lose nearly $900,000,000 in lapsed GI term life insurance dur ing 1953, unless they reinstate and renew those policies before the expiration date of their poli cies. In making this announcement, based on a sampling of Philadel phia district office records, Vet erans Administration said the poli cies involved are lapsed term Na tional Service Life Insurance (NSLI) that were issued to two groups of World War II and post World War II veterans in this area. The first group were 100,000 World War II veterans who took out NSLI policies while they were in service during the year 1945. The second group were 10,000 World War II and post-World War II veterans who took out term policies while they were in service during 1948. The first group had policies writh 8-year terms to run, and the second group’s policies had terms of 5 years, both of them expiring during the year 1953. In the state of North Carolina, the VA figures indicate that ap proximately 64,000 veterans of both groups will lose about $512, 000,000 of insurance coverage if not reinstated this year. In Vir ginia, approximately 24,500 veter ans are affected and stand to lose about $195,000,000. About 21,500 West Virginia veterans are affect ed, with insurance coverage total ing approximately $172,000,000. If veterans in both groups do not wish to lose altogether the in surance coverage under these poli cies, they must reinstate them be fore the policies expire, VA said. Otherwise, under present laws, they will not be eligible for furth er GI life insurance. Policies may be reinstated by applying to a Veterans Adminis tration office. If the policy has been lapsed for three months, the veteran must pass a physical ex amination.
