| DION & JOHNSTC rege 1% THE KEY WEST CITIZEN VETERANS SEEKING LOANS SHOULD APPLY TO OFFICE OF V.A. FOR CERTIFICATES Veterans who plan to seek GI loans from private lenders for bomes, farms or businesses should apply to Veterans Administration regional offices in advance for ecrtificates of eligibility, VA an- nounced today. VA said this will reduce delays in processing the loan applications later, when the veteran is anxious- ly awaiting completion of the deal or is pressed for time to close the loan. Certificates of elibibility Proof for lenders that VA_ will guarantee or insure a loan if the veterans meets other usual loan requirements. In the past, veterans have been’ advised to submit their discharge or separation papers to the lend-. ing institutions making the loand. They in turn, would submit them to VA on behalf of the veterans. However, since the passage of) the Korean GI Bill which extends the loan guaranty benefits of the World War II GI Bill to veterans with service since June 27, 1950, VA must have information not previously needed to establish eli- gibility, Now, to pass on a veteran’s eli- gibility, VA must know whether the veteran served in World War: II or since the start of the-Korean conflict, or both; what prior use of his loan guaranty benefits, if any, has been made; the status of any prior GI loans, and whe- ther the veteran still owns real es- tate purchasea with any such loans.
