Widows’ War Pensions There have been so many in¬ quiries concerning pensions for wid ows of veterans of both World Wars I and II that we are giving here the general provisions for the various types of pensions: Pensions for widows, children and dependent parents of veterans whose death resulted from service in both World Wars I and II: widow, but no child, $50; widow with one child SfiS-and $13 for each additional child; no widow, but one child. $25; no widow, but two children, $38 equally divided, and $10 for each additional child; dependent father or mother, $45, or both $25 each. A widow means she must have been married to the veteran prior to December 14. 1944. lived continu¬ ously with him until date of death, except where there was a separa¬ tion due to misconduct of or pro¬ cured by the veteran, without fault of the widow—and must not have remarried Pensions for widows and children of World War I for death not con¬ nected with service: widow, hut no child. $35; widow and one child, $45 and $5 (or each additional child; no widow, but one child, $18; no wid¬ ow but two children, $27 equally divided: no widow but three chil¬ dren, $36. and $4 for each addi¬ tional child The same definition of widow applies as above. This pen¬ sion is not payable to any widow without child, or to a child, whose annual income exceeds $1,000. or to a widow with child or children where annual income exceeds $2,500. There is no provision for pensions to widows of World War II for death not connected with service. Questions and Answers Q. What type of dependents must a hospitalized veteran who is rated 100 per cent or more disabled have In order to draw more than the $20 monthly institutional award? -• E. (■- R., Milwaukee, Wis. A. The Veterans’ administrative says that if you have one depend¬ ent, you may draw a pension of $115 per month or more, depending on nature of your disability, if you are 100 per cent disabled. The amount In excess of your $20 may be dent to the dependent. Q. I have been trying ft get re¬ adjustment compensation of $20 per week, but have been unable to do so. I am a veteran of this war with 26 months and have a disability dis¬ charge, but have not got a pension yet. So I would like to know how to get the $20 a wee's.—R. F. S., Wolf Island, Mo. A. The fact that you have a disa¬ bility discharge, or even drawing a pension should not interfere with receiving readjustment compensa¬ tion under the G.l. bill. Require¬ ments for this compensation are (1) you reside in the U. S.; (2) you are completely unemployed or if par¬ tially employed, at wages less than $23 per week; (3) that you are regis¬ tered with and reporting to a pub lice employment office, USES; and 4) that you are able to work and avai'nble for suitable work. Have your discharge or separation papers with you when you register for em¬ ployment. Q. I was reading where they are still counting points since V-J Day. The Red Cross said they froze them V-J Day. Please answer which is correct and also how many points and how many years of service do you have to have to be discharged? —Mrs. E. I)., Louisville, Ky. A. The war department says that for the record, men in the service are still earning points for each month of service, but for the pur¬ poses of discharge, points earned as of September 2, 1945, are count- pd. For the army, according to Gen¬ eral Eisenhower, men with 40 points as of September 2, except volun¬ teers, or with two years service will be home by June 30; men with 45 points or 30 months’ service will be home by April 30. q.—T o a lonely wife and mother of Vienna. Mo., and Mrs. J. C., of Carterton, Va„ each of whom have three children. A. —Your husbands are eligible to apply for discharge immediately be¬ cause you each have three children. The same answer holds true for Mrs H. R.. New Boston, Texas. Q. A few weeks ago, I began a correspondence course with a New York school at a cost of $80 for the entire course. A down payment of $20 was made, and five monthl> payments must be made to clear up the balance. Would the govern¬ ment pay the entire bill, or must I, because of its low cost, pay the ex¬ pense?—J. A. V., Webster, Mass A. Lf you are a veteran of this war with an honorable discharge the government will pay tuition for correspondence courses up to $500 Make application at your nearest Veterans’ administration office.
