Veterans undesirous of cash dividends for their 1952 National Service Life Insurance may have the amount deposited to policy credit. The VA will mail dividend notices after each policy anniversary and the average dividend is expected to be about 40 to 50 dollars. If not used to cover premiums or requested in cash within three months, the dividend will earn interest. Public Law 36 allows applying dividends to premiums starting January 1, 1952. The VA is mailing 1952 dividend checks to those who requested cash payments, with about 5 million policy holders eligible for a 200 million dollar dividend.
