New Disability Clause
For Gl Insurance
More than 5,000,000 World
War II and Korean conflict
veterans who hold GI life insurance
may now attach a
new type of total disability
income provision to their
policies for a small additional
premium cost.
Under Public Law 85-678?
which becomes effective on 1
November ? policyholders
who become totally disabled
before reaching age 60 and
while the new clause is in
effect will receive an income
of $10 a month for each $1,000
face amount of their policies.
Those veterans who have
$10,000 policies would thus
receive $100 monthly disability
pay. (A similar clause
formerly granted $5 monthly
for each $1,000 of insurance.)
Payments under the clause
begin after the total disability
has existed for six consecutive
months and continue
for the duration of the disability,
regardless of its
length.
No payment may be made
for disabilities incurred after
reaching age 60 and, of
course, no premium is made
for this benefit after the
veteran reaches age 60.
Premium cost of the total
disability provision varies according
to the policyholder's
age, type of policy, and its
face amount.
A typical example would
be that of a 40-year-old veteran
with a $10,000 NSLI
term policy. He would pay
$1.60 monthly for the new
clause; if he became totally
disabled, he would receive
$100 monthly.
You may obtain complete
information about the new
total disability income provision
from any Veterans'
Administration office.
Is Th is The
'Good Old Days'?
An office manager in Boston,
Mass., was cleaning out
an old file and came across
the office rules of 1872. He
wanted to read them to his
office force but they were all
out on one of the day's several
coffee breaks. The rules
are printed to give some idea
of what the "Good Old Days"
were like.
1. Office employees each
day will fill lamps, clean
chimneys and trim wicks.
Wash windows once a week.
2. Each clerk will bring in
a bucket of water and a
scuttle of coal for the day's
business.
3. Men employees will be
given an evening off each
week for courting purposes.
4. After 13 hours of labor
in the office, the employee
should spend the remaining
time reading his Bible.
5. Every employee should
lay aside from each pay day
a goodly sum of his earnings
for his benefit during his declining
years, so that he will
not become a burden on society.
fi. Any employee who
smokes Spanish cigars, uses
liquor in any form, or frequents
pool and public halls,
or pets shaved in a barber
shop, will pive pood reason to
suspect his worth, intentions,
inteprity, and honesty.
