Wartime benefits outlined for servicemen families
Wartime survivors benefits for families of U S servicemen killed in Viet Nam or the Dominican Republic will be paid on wartime rates. Wounded servicemen qualify for disability payments from twenty to nine hundred ninety dollars monthly. Widows receive wartime payments regardless of need, with specific monthly sums and allowances, plus a six month lump sum. Orphans and dependents receive related benefits and burial costs. The Cold War Benefits Act of 1957 authorizes wartime rates without a declared war.
