Veterans Dependents Eligible for Social Security Benefits
The article explains eligibility for Social Security benefits for veterans and dependents under the new amendment. It notes the option to recompute survivors' benefits for those with civilian employment under the Social Security Act and cites a February 10, 1947 deadline. Regular Social Security benefits apply regardless of other pensions, but new provisions cannot grant benefits if a Veterans Administration pension is available. National Service Life Insurance payments do not count as a pension and will not block Social Security benefits.
