Dividends Planned for WWII Insurance Delayed to 1950
Harold H. Breining of the Veterans Administration said it is impossible to start paying the $2 billion World War II veterans life insurance dividend this year due to the large accounting task. Payments are planned to be completed by July 1, 1950, with Truman directing dividends be paid in fiscal year 1949-30. The process hinges on auditing over 20 million National Service Life Insurance accounts and printing about 30 million application forms for 15 million beneficiaries. Individual dividends will vary and may reach up to $500, with average payments around $160 if pooled. Every veteran with premiums for at least three months since October 1940 will receive a dividend covering through the 1948 policy anniversary.
