The Red Cross highlights that many soldiers have yet to obtain war insurance. Eligible service members can apply by February 12, 1918 if enlisted by October 15, 1917, or within 120 days of later entry. Beneficiaries cover spouses, children, and close relatives, with conversion options after the war.
Premiums may be paid by the insured or by someone for him, by allotment of pay or government deposits. Deduction from pay is standard unless another arrangement is made. Insurance may be kept if premiums are paid, even after service ends, provided it converts to permanent form within five years after the war. War era rates ran from 63 cents per month per thousand at age fifteen to 5.35 dollars per month per thousand at age sixty five, increasing yearly. Monthly beneficiary payments ranged from 35.75 to 57.50 per month per 1000 for a 10000 policy.
