Free GI insurance for overseas service debated in Congress
A House subcommittee weighing free up to $10,000 GI insurance for service members in South Vietnam Korea Laos and similar overseas combat zones aims to act soon. The plan, backed by Rep Paul Fine, would restore eligibility denied since 1957 with one year to apply after discharge for disability rated 10 percent or higher. Open endorsement from President Johnson could push NSLI reopening for WWII and Korea veterans, while active duty personnel remain ineligible.
