The Insurance That Lapsed and a Veteran’s Death
A World War Veteran died at 26 in a Midwestern city a month ago after letting his War Risk Insurance lapse. He left a widow and son with no funds, the policy worth $10,000, which he had paid premiums on during the war. He never reinstated it despite illness that began in France. Regulations allow reinstatement by paying back premiums with 5 percent interest, unless totally disabled. About 600,000 veterans hold government policies. many others may not know their rights. Ex servicemen should contact their region Service Officer or the Minneapolis Veterans Bureau for reinstatement details.
