VA Distributes Insurance Dividends

Week of January 14, 2008

More than a million veterans are in line to share $349 million in annual insurance dividends during 2008, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The dividend payments will be sent to an estimated 1.1 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. Veterans who have questions about their policies may contact the VA insurance toll-free number at 1-800-669-8477, send an e-mail to VAinsurance@va.gov or visit the VA website.
