How Fighters Keep Insured
Two safeguards help servicemen keep life policies when premiums are hard to pay. If a policy is three years old with loan value, the insurer can lend against it to keep it in force. If not, the Soldier's and Sailor's Relief Act provides a premium moratorium up to 5000 dollars for those called to training under the draft. The act also preserves the policy during service and for a year after, with government first lien on loans. Repayment is due within a year of discharge.
