Korea Veterans Receive Special Dividend Payout
More than 400000 veterans of the Korea conflict will receive special dividend checks totaling over 29.5 million dollars from the Veterans Administration. The payments go to holders of W type government life insurance policies and are expected to be the only such dividend these veterans will ever get. Most veterans should receive their checks before December 10. An additional 200000 Korea veterans may become eligible if they convert or exchange RS insurance for W type before September 14, 1963.
