Georgia Vets
Received Almost
SIOO-Million
During 1968 the Veterans Ad
ministration paid $99,962,099 in
compensation and pension bene
fits to Georgia veterans and de
pendents of deceased war vet
erans, A. W. Tate, Manager of
the Atlanta VA Regional Office,
“ said today.
At the end of the year 64,373
Georgia veterans were receiving
compensation payment for ser
vice-connected disabilities or
nonservice - connected pension
benefits, based on need, from VA
Mr. Tate said.
The VA regional office manager
noted that the widows, children
and dependent parents of 31,718
deceased war veterans were on
the pension and compensation
rolls at the end of the year.
These payments accounted for
64.3 of expenditures by VA in
Newly-Returned Veterans
Should Know About Benefits
Newly returned veterans
should not overlook news they
receive in the mail from the
" Veterans Administration about
job opportunities, money for edu
cation, free medical care and
other benefits, a VA spokesman
advised today.
A. W. Tate, Manager of the
VA Regional Office In Atlanta
described how computers are
used to help bring Information
on veterans benefits to recently
released servicemen at the time
they are most likely to act on
it.
One problem, Mr. Tate ob
served, is that many organiza
tions and agencies are trying
to reach the new veteran at a
time when he is unsettled and
likely to be moving about.
VA contacts with the veteran
are carefully planned with this
problem in mind, Mr. Tate said.
Before separation, most ser
vicemen are briefed on their ve
terans benefits. Many in Viet-
Nam are briefed by VA while
they are sill in the field.
Servicemen about to be dis
charged are shown a likely movie
on benefits. Printed Information
is also available at separation
centers, and the separation pro
cess sets up still another con
tact.
A copy of every discharge (De
partment of Defense Form 214)
goes to VA’s computer center in
Austin, Texas. Computer-p ro -
duced letters are sent to the
veteran’s home address and in
the case of veterans who have
not finished high school copies
go to the VA Regional Office
nearest their homes.
The computer takes note of
whether the veteran has com
pleted high school and if he

a letter to fit the circumstances.
For example, the man who
hasn’t finished high school Is
asked, “Do you want to finish
high school? Do you want a job?
Do you want help In buying a
home? Do you need medical or
dental treatment?
Letters to all veterans give a
VA telephone number where more
Information is available. A pre
addressed inquiry card is en
closed so that the man who wants
help on a specific subject by
mall has only to check the right
box.
If he writes in his telephone
number, a VA officer will call
to set up an interview. In some
cities with no VA office special
telephone circuits are provided
so that veterans can call the
nearest VA office in another
city without charge.
For the veteran without a high
school diploma who has not res
ponded, there is still another
letter. He is advised that an
appointment has been made for
him with a VA representative.
If he can’t make it, he is asked
to select a more convenient time.
Mr. Tate observed that Viet- *
Nam veterans returning home In -
small numbers might not be met
by parades and bands, but they .
are never overlooked by the mail
man. He urged that relatives
and friends see to it that mall

ually reaches the veteran.
Whether the mail catches up or
not, he said, all recently released
servicemen should be urged to
write or visit a VA office or .
one of the 21 Veterans Assis- ;
tance Centers set up in metro
politan areas especially to help
them.
