Peffer Pension Bill Expands Civil War Pension Payments
The act proposes lifetime monthly pensions for living veterans of the Civil War who are not already receiving one. It details per day and per imprisonment supplements, a service pension roll, new paper money for funding, and rules for applying, withdrawing, and paying pensions, with specific denominations and issuance protocols. The bill also repeals part of a prior act and sets effective date upon presidential approval.
