Turner, manager of the South Carolina regional office of the Vet erans Administration, said today Each month, VA district offices receive checks. money orders, and postal notes that cannot be cash ed, although they were intended to pay NSLI premiums. Many checks are not signed. Others are made payable to companies and organizations.; which have no con nection with the Veterans Admin istration. The Veterans Administration at tempts to clear up such mistakes immediately, by writing to the vet eran within 24 hours. But his pre mium cannot be marked "paid" until he sends back a cashable pay ment. If the veteran who forgets to sign his check is near the end o his 31 day grace period, there is particuiar danger that his insur ance may lapse. Turner said. Cheeks, money orders or postal notes should be made payable to the treasurer of the United States. If, for any reason, the veteran does not have a VA premium en velope and does not know his in surance number, he should make certain his payment is accom panied by his full name, address and armed forces serial number.
