NSL Insurance
Pays Dividends
The Veterans Administration,
has estimated that “a great ma
jority” of the 15,000,000 service
•personnel who took out National
Service Life Insurance policies
during World War II will shar e in
insurance dividends once they are
computed, E. L. Wagner, State
College Veterans Administrator
said recently.
The dividends will be 'payable
in cash and will be based on the
age of the insured, the type of
policy and the period of insur
ance.
“National Service Life Insur
ance is mutual insurance,” Wag
ner explained,A‘“When insiirf
•ance funds show a surplus from
gains and savings, that surplus
belongs to tbe policy holders who
hav e pisdd premiums.
“The surplus arises,” be said,
“because in calculating premiums,
it is necessary to mak e assump
tions as to th e future mortality
and interest rates. If the mortali
ty is less than was assumed or if
the interest rates are higher, sav
ings arise from which dividends
are paid.”
National Service Life Insur
ance policies totaling $17,600,000
are held by 3,000,000 veterans and,
$16,000,000,000 worth of policies
are held by 2,000,000 persons
currently in the service according
to the latest' figures released last
week by th e Administraion.
