GI Families Get Housing Payments
Federal payments of 45 to 85 monthly would aid families of enlisted men in lower grades under bills approved by Senate and House Armed Services committees. Both measures call the aid a quarters allowance, with $40 monthly from the soldier’s pay. House and Senate plans differ on eligibility and amounts for one or more dependents, with ranges from 67.50 to 86 dollars for two or more dependents and higher if more dependents exist. Thousands of soldiers could qualify, including sole surviving sons and families in noncombat zones.
