KINGS MdONTAlN, Kl. C. You And Social Security II Older people who enter the j hospital under Mi^dicare on Jan ' uary 1 or after will bv responsi ble for an additional $1 of their hospital bills. Up till now, Lex G. Barkley, social security district manager' safd, Medicare has paid all but, the first $40 of a Medicare bene-’ flciary’s hospital bill in each spell o(f illness. Kffective Janu-’ ary 1, he said, it will cover aJL but the first .$44. Ho noted that, the hospital bill foi‘ an average stay by a Medicare beneficiary now runs about $(>()(). ■ The hospital ded’u'clible amount! —the amount for which the Med icare henefkiary is responsible—j he explained, is similar to the (ieducUble amounts provided in many auto insurance policies! where the car owner pays the first $50 or $10!) of a repair bill and the insurance company pays the rest. The increase of $4 in the por tion of the hospital bill for which a Medicare bendficiaiy is respon sible results from a provision in the law refjulring an annual re view of the deductible. The first such review, the law provided, was to made in 196S. The law! states that if this annual review! shows that hospital costs have' I’s holiday: of the wort na's traffw y reduced U atalities foi s period anc the sbnila) the N.

' Barkley said that when the hospital dediiictlble amount changes, the law rct|uires com parable changes in the dollar a* mounts a Medicare beneficiary pays towai'd a hospital stay Of more than 60 days, or a posthos pital extended care stay of more than 20 years. These amounts, al so. will go up 10 percent, begin ning January 1, 1969 When a Medicare beneficiary has a hospital stay of more than 60 days, he will pay $11 a day for ' the 61st through the 90th day. I up from the present $10 per day. If he has a posthospital stay of over 20 days in an extended care facility, he will pay $5.50 per day toward the costs of the 21st through the 100th day. If he draws on his “Ufetime reser\'e,'’ the reserve account a beneficiary can draw upon if he ever needs . more than 90 days of hospital care in the same benefit period, he will now pay $22 a day for ' each reserve day used, instead of ; $20 per day.

Q—Will the Veterans Adminis tration pay a 1969 dividend on the National Service LMe Insur ance policy' I have had in force from World War fl? (1 converted it to a permanent .plan policy in I 1950.) When will the dividend I be paid and must I make appli cation for it? I recently borrow ed half of the cash value of my policy. Will this affect the a- I mount of my 1969 N.SLl divi-’ dend? • A To answer your questions in oi^der: Yes, VA will pay a 1969 i dividend on World War II NSLI i policies (converted or not) just ; as in past years. The dividend I will be paid automatically on the I anniversary date of the policy so j you need not apply to VA for it.

Also, the dollar amounts they will pay toward the cost of a hospital stay of more than 60 days or for posthospital extend ed care of more than 20 days will be payable at the oLd rqte— even though the services may bo provided in lf>39. rather than in 1968. The fact that you borrowed a- gainst the cash surrender value of the policy will not rtniuce the amount of your dividend. You ai’C, off course, paying four per cent interest on your NSLI loan and any amount of the loan un paid at the time of your death will be deducted from the insur ance paid to your benrtiiciaries. Q T read recently that vet-! crans in servict' after the Korean Conflict (after Jan. 31, 19.55) have had their education entitle ment under the <1. I. Bill increas ed. My brorher was in sei vice from June 1963 to June 1965 and received two years of collev’o ti'aining under the G. I. Bill. Does he now have additional en titlement? Tf so, what must ho do to receive il? A Your brother is being noti fied by the VA of his entitlement to additional educational assist ance. This results from a new law which went into effect Di*c. 1 granting Post-Korean veteran.s 36 months of educational assist ance upon completion of IS or more months of active duty and fulfillment of their military ob ligation. Otherwise a veteran earns one and one-half months of educational assistance - up to the maximum of 36 months for each month of s<M'vice. Prev iously, entitlement was limited to one month of assistance for each month Of st'rvice. Your brother should advise VA of the addition al education he desires. His re vised Certificate of Eligibility has already been computed an<l will be issued to him soon after receipt of his application. There are 19 different varieties of hummingbiids.
