Bill Would Boost GI Life Insurance for Vietnam Era
Senator Hartke proposes raising the maximum government life insurance for active duty Vietnam era servicemen from 10 000 to 30 000 and adds an option to keep coverage at a low base rate after separation. The bill allows selection of coverage in multiples of 5 090 up to 20 000 under the group life plan, which began in 1965 with automatic payroll deductions. Currently active duty personnel cannot carry government life insurance into civilian life unless converted within 120 days of discharge.
