Proposed Washington Legislation On Veterans Insurance Costs
A House Expenditures subcommittee urged action on National Service Life Insurance reforms while preserving guaranteed NSLI contracts for veterans and servicemen. Rep Hardy may favor changes to new policy types and reconsider government subsidies via interest rate adjustments to align with market rates. The committee suggested VA savings and possible dividends considerations, noting rising term costs as veterans age and premiums climb.
