Plan for Second Insurance Dividend to GIs in 51
Washington officials said the Veterans Administration plans a second GI insurance dividend for 1951 but must first fund clerical costs. The 1951 dividend could be delayed if war erupts, increasing VA workload and reducing manpower. Last year the VA paid a $2.906 billion dividend to 16 million World War II policyholders, funded from surplus premiums. Congress denied $4.8 million to cover processing and mailing costs, leaving VA to finance two-thirds from its regular appropriation. Annual dividends are planned after 1951.
