QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q.—I have a lapsed World
War U GI term insurance policy.
Since it hasn't reached the end
of its term period, I want to re-
instate it and, at the same time,
convert to a permanent plan.
How much money will I have
to pay?
A.—You will have to ipay one
monthly premium at the term
rate plus your first premium
payment at the new permanent-
plan rate. Any VA office can
tell you the amounts due.
Q.—I am taking Korean GI
training in a trade school that
is not operated on a term or se-
mester basis. My entitlement is
due to run out before I complete
my course. Will I be allowed to
finish it under -the Korean GI
Bill anyhow?
A.—You will be allowed to
continue your course so long as
you have completed the major
part of it. You may train either
to the end of the course or for
nine weeks—whichever is the
shorter iperiod.
