Pension Bills Move to Expand Civil War Era Veterans Pensions
Washington Feb 26 Senator Marion introduced radical pension reforms to aid disabled Civil War veterans and widows. The plan offers six months service veterans a pension up to 24 dollars monthly, with rates set by disability, and raises widow pensions to twelve dollars. It broadens eligibility to those who served without hospital treatment but later became invalid, and extends benefits to widows of those pensioned or who die from service related causes. Representative Connor supports simplifying claims and extending benefits to dependents, arguing current laws bar meritorious cases and delay justice. The measure, if enacted, could unlock tens of thousands of pensions and speed 100 thousand pending grants.
