VA to issue dividend checks for life policy refunds
The Veterans Administration explains that the refund derives mainly from dividend checks totaling about 150,000 weekly. Those with NSUL active for three months between policy anniversaries in 1948 to 1951 will share 685 million dollars. Policyholders should expect checks three to four months after their policy anniversaries and should not write to inquire about amounts or timing to avoid delaying payments. Don Bloch of Denver, Colorado, held the largest collection of Edgar Saltus works, editing Brand Book, a West history and figures collection for the Denver Westerner group.
