VA Secretary Nicholson: Some Vets to Receive Insurance Dividends
Payments "Tangible Evidence" of Nation's Commitment
WASHINGTON (Dec. 8, 2006) - More than a million veterans are in line to
share $369 million in annual insurance dividends during 2007, according
to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
"These dividends are tangible evidence of VA's continuing commitment to
safeguard the interests of America's veterans," said Secretary of
Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson.
VA operates one of the nation's largest life insurance programs,
providing more than $1 trillion in coverage to 4.5 million service
members, spouses and children.
The dividend payments will be sent to an estimated 1.2 million holders
of VA insurance policies on the anniversary date of their policies.
Sent automatically through different payment plans, the amounts will
vary based on the age of the veteran, the type of insurance, and the
length of time the policy has been in force.
The dividends come from the earnings of a trust fund into which veterans
have paid insurance premiums over the years, and are linked to returns
on investments in U.S. government securities.
VA officials caution veterans about a long-running scam in which various
groups charge fees to "locate" veterans who are eligible for the
dividends. Veterans eligible for the dividends have had VA life
insurance policies in effect since they left the military and have
received annual notifications from VA about the policies.
Dividends are paid each year to veterans holding certain government life
insurance policies and who served between 1917 and 1956.
World War II veterans holding National Service Life Insurance ("V")
policies comprise the largest group receiving 2007 insurance dividend
payments. They are expected to receive total payments of $286.3
million.
An additional group of World War II era veterans, those who have
Veterans Reopened Insurance ("J", "JR" and "JS") policies, will in total
receive dividends of $10.1 million.
Korean War era veterans who have maintained Veterans Special Life
Insurance ("RS" and "W") policies can expect to receive dividends
totaling $71.6 million.
Dividends totaling $1million will be paid to veterans who served between
World War I and 1940 and who hold U.S. Government Life Insurance ("K")
policies.
Veterans who have questions about their policies may contact the VA
insurance toll-free number at 1-800-669-8477 or send an e-mail to
VAinsurance@va.gov. They may also visit the Internet at
www.insurance.va.gov.
