The prisoner, William Maguire, The Veterans Corner Here are authoritative answens from the Veterans Administration to Your questions of interest to | former service men and their families: Q. I'm studying college under the Korean GI Bill’ and the goal I put down on my VA application is an BA degree. After I get it, I want to | go on for my master’s degree. | Would that step be considered a | change of program, even if my ad- vanced studies are in the same field? A. Yes. The reason would be that your original GI training goal had} been changed. Q. I am a World War I veteran drawing a VA pension for a non- service-connected disability. I had to sell my house for a price less than I paid for it. Am I supposed to count the proceeds of the sale as income, in figuring out whether I come under the annual income ceiling of $2,700 for a married vet- eran? A. No. Since you sold your house at less than your purchase price, | no part of the proceeds need by considered as income. Q. I’m applying for the new type of post-Korean term insurance. | Whom may I name as the bene- ficiary of my insurance? A. You may name any person or persons, Or, if you want, you also may designate any firm, corpora- tion or other legal entity, including your estate. Q. I have just received orders that recall me to active duty. I don’t think my service pay will be su‘ficient to allow me to keep up payments on the house I bought with a GI loan. Is there anything I can do about it? A, Yes. You should discuss your entire situation with the holder of your mortgage, and make arrange- ments to pay as much as you can while you’re in uniform. That part of the payment you cannot make can be postponed until you get out of service. At that time you should see the mortgage holder again, and make arrangements for a repay: ment schedule.
