Q — What are the Vietnam
war dates, for purposes of vet-
erans’ benefits?
A — Inclusive dates for the
Vietnam era Aug. 5, 1964
through May 7, 1975.
Q — Which of VA insur-
ance plans pay dividends?
A — U. S. Government Life
Insurance (“K” policies); Na-
tional Service Life Insurance
(“V” policies); and Veterans
Special Life Insurance (“HS-
W” policies).

off before the final payment
date?
A — Yes. A VA guaranteed
loan may be partially or fully
paid an any time. Hdwever,,
part payments may not be less
than one monthly payment or
$100, whichever is less.
Q — I understand the school
notifies the VA when a
veteran student drops out of
GI Bill training. Why should
the veteran have to duciplate
this notification?
A — It is the veteran’s re-
sponsibility to prevent VA ov-
er-payments by notifying the
VA upon termination of train-
ing. Sometimes the tmie lag in
the school’s notification caus-
es an overpayment to the stud-
ent who must then repay the
