Insurance Offer Made Veterans Thousands of World War II veterans are losing their right tp millions of dollars of government Insurance -very day, George C. Warlick of the Gastonia VA Of fice stated today. These veterans took out insurance In late 1941 and 1947, their policies running for 8 or 5-year terms. Hundreds of thousands of other veterans who took out government life in surance in 1945 and 1948 stand to lose many billions of dollars of this insurance during the next thirteen months unless they take steps to preserve it. These are veterans who allowed their poli cies to lapse and which will ex pire at end of present term. ; Mr. Warlick explained that government insurance written through December 31, 1945 was for 8 years and that written after this date was for 5 years. In e vent an 8 or 5-year policy expires I without being . renewed Tor ano ther 5 years or else converted to a permanent form before expira ion, the insurance will be lost forever. Policies that have been allowed to lapse 'must be reinstate ed before they may be renewed or converted to permanent insur ance. Usually a policy lapsed less than 90 days may be reinstated without physical examination, whereas II the Jlapsed period ex ceeds 90 days an examination-will be necessary. Term policies may be reinstated upon payment of only two months premiums. Insurance offers many young veterans their only opportunity to insure protection of their de pendents in case of death and Mr. VVarllck urges that veterans give serious consideration to re instating and renewing their term insurance while there Is time to do so. The facilities of his office are available to all veterans, their dependents and beneficiaries in matters arising from service in the armed forces. The Gastonia VA Office is located at 205 West Main Avenue. SUBSCRIBE TO THE HERALD LIGHT ON TB Tuberculosis can be pre vented. U can bo cured.
