Veterans Administration, in releasing the statement today, said the policies involved are lapsed term National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) that were issued to two groups of World War II and post-World |War II veterans. The two groups are: 1, The 1,100,000 World War Il veterans. who took out term NSLI policies while they were in service during the last two months of 1944 and all of 1945; and, 2..The 100,000 World War If and post-World War II veterans who took out term NSLI policies while they were in service dur- ing the last two months of 1947 and all of 1948, The first group of 1,100,000 cies and the second group of 100,000 veterans have 5-year term policies.’ Both terms expire sometime during the last two months of this year or during next year, depending on the an- niversary of each policy. If veterans in either group do not wish to lose this coverage altogether, they must reinstate their policies before the terms expire. Otherwise, they will not be eligible for further GI life insurance coverage under Public Law 23, 82nd Congress. Reinstatement of lapsed term policies may be accomplished by applying to VA. A physical ex- amination is required after 3) months of lapse and the pay- ment of two monthly premiums also is required. One of these two premiums covers the premium for the month of grace coverage after lapse and the other is for the premium month in which the application is submitted to/| VA, The term of a policy begins with the date it is issued and |expires on the 5th or 8th anni- versary of that date, depending upon whether it is a 5-year or an 8-year term policy. The difference in the length of the. term was determined by the Congress in 1945 when it stipu- lated in an amendment to the NSLI Act of 1940 that term policies issued on or before De- cember 31, 1945 shall be for 8 years, while those issued after that date shall be for 5 years. A new law, passed by the last session of Congress, {permits policyholders to renew term Government jife insurance every 5 years without a physical ex- amination at the premium rate for the then-attained age. Under this law, policyholders who reinstate lapsed term NSLI before the terms expire may re- now the reinstated policies for another 5 years at the expiration of the terms. Veterans who have term NSLI policies in force under premium paying conditions receive two notices from VA _ before the terms of their policies expire, notifying them of their right to renew for another 5-year term. But veterans who have permitted | their term policies to lapse by non-payment of premiums when due receive no further notices from VA.
