Millions in new pensions for Civil War veterans
Washington expects a service pension bill in the coming Congress that would raise annual pension outlays by an estimated 10 to 50 million dollars. It would grant Union Civil War survivors with 90 days service a monthly 12 dollar pension and provide widows of soldiers with 90 days service a 12 dollar monthly pension. Proponents argue it would align Civil War veterans with Mexican War and War of 1812 veterans.
