Veterans to receive second life insurance dividend in 1951
The Veterans Administration announced a second insurance dividend for veterans on policy anniversaries in 1951. Kickoff payment on January 1 may be delayed if the Budget Bureau cuts the $4.8 million requested for administrative costs. VA notes 8,000 daily National Service Life Insurance applications vs 1,000 prewar, and final refunds depend on December guidance. The total payout will be far less than this year’s $2.8 billion and per policyholder amounts for 1948–51 will likely drop from 55 cents per month per $1,000 for under 40s.
