Veterans holding National
Service Life Insurance (NSLI)
policies are encouraged by
the Veterans Administration
to give consideration to
converting the five-year level
premium term insurance to a
permanent-plan policy.
The NSLI program was
started in 1940 to serve the
insurance needs of World War
II servicemen, Jack Coker,
VA Regional Director,
explained. More than 22
million policies were issued
before the program was
closed in 1951. There were
16 million policies in force
with a face value in excess of
$121 billion during the peak
enrollment in 1944.
At the end of fiscal year
1975, there were four million
policies still in force with a
face value of $26 billion. Of
these, 2.5 million have been
converted to permanent
plans. The VA counselors are
directing their attention to
the remaining 1.5 million
policyholders.
Term insurance premiums
increase sharply at each
renewal after age 50, often
imposing a hardship on the
policyholder. While premium
rate for permanent plans are
higher than for term policies
issued at the same ages, they
remain constant throughout
the life of the policy.
The VA stresses that the
rexidion to convert from
term to a permanent
insurance plan must be based
on the veteran’s present and
future needs for insurance, its
cost and the veteran’s ability
to pay for the coverage.
The VA offers a number of
permanent plans of insurance,
all of which offer cash and
loan values while avoiding
future premium increases.
Included are modified life
plans, ordinary life, limited
payment life and
endowments.
Veterans now receiving
insurance dividends will
continue to receive them
after conversion, the amounts
depending on the new
insurance plan. Policyholders
who purchased paid-up
additions to their term
insurance will be permitted to
retain the paid-up additions
with the new permanent plan.
Complete information on
insurance coverage and
counseling on conversion
options is available at all VA
offices.
Lovers and Rivals
“Darling, I want you for my
lover,” pleaded the young man.
“Tell your lover he can’t have
me,” kidded the young lovely.
And that points out the difference
between a lover and his rival:
one kisses the miss, and the other
misses the kiss.
