Editor's Note; Below are authoritative answers by the Veterans Administration to some of the many current ques tions from former servicemen and their families. Further information on veterans benefits may be obtained at any VA office.
Q--What insurance coverage is available to men now in service? A--Every man now in service is automatically covered with $10,000 SGLI at a cost of $2.00 per month which is deducted from his pay. He can, upon written request to the military, reduce this to $3,000 coverage, or refuse coverage.
Q--Why did I not receive my pension check on March 1, 1967? A—Your payment was suspended on February 1, 1967 because you failed to return your income questionnaire. Payment of pension is based on a veteran’s income from other sources and the number of dependents. This annual report is required in order to ascertain the correct amount of payment, if any, due. Q--Is my allowance paid for funeral expenses for a person who has had military service? A--An allowance of $250 is paid toward the burial expense of any person who had other than dishonorable wartime military service, or who had a service incurred disability resulting from any military service. This expense is not payable if funeral expenses are met from sources other than members of the immediate family, i.e., if they buy fraternal organization burial insurance, etc. An additional allowance for transportation of the body is allowed if the eligible veteran died in a VA hospital.
