New VA Law
May Benefit
Pensioners
Approximately 8,000 Georgia
pensioners continue to receive
VA benefits under the "old law”
which was In effect prior to
July 1, 1960, when the "new
law" covering nearly 1.4 mil
lion beneficiaries was enacted,
Harry W. Piper, Assistant Man
ager, Veterans Administration
Regional Office, Atlanta, said
today. However, because it may
now be to their advantage to
come under the new law, these
old law pensioners will be given
another opportunity between Feb
ruary 1 and May 1 next year to
change over.
If they elect to change before
May 1, any additional benefits
due them under the new law will
be paid retroactively to January
1, 1969.
Mr. Piper indicated that infor
mation explaining the benefits of
the new law together with a sign
up card will be mailed to them at
the end of January. Meantime,
VA will send a notice with the
pension check and Income quest
ionnaire to be mailed about Nov
ember 1 advising them in advance
of the upcoming conversion opp
ortunity.
Americans are still taking Ho
race Greeley seriously. A recent
Labor Department report reveals
that during the 1950’s a net 3.9
million people migrated to the
West coast seeking better jobs.
About 3.1 million of these set
tled in California.
