Bank loan plan eyed to free cash for veterans
A House Ways and Means panel reached unanimous agreement on a revised bill to accelerate cash payments to veterans. The plan would allow banks to issue service certificates with an 85 percent surrender value after three years, limit interest to two percent above the rediscount rate, and tie loan repayment to government surrender of certificates if default occurs. The measure aims to provide immediate funds while preserving federal control and avoiding soaring costs.
