Vets urged to convert to permanent GI insurance
World War II veterans urged by the Veterans Administration to convert their term GI life policies to permanent GI insurance. Los Angeles VA official L. C. Chapman says many World War I veterans who did not convert face financial strain as term policies require five year renewals with rising premiums. Permanent insurance costs more upfront but carries cash value, loans, and level premiums. Long Beach veterans can inquire at the VA office in the downtown Post Office Building.
