House Passes Veterans Pension Bill on to Senate
The House approved the veterans pension measure by 172 to 57 after a brief debate. The bill includes an unemployability standard and would set most pensions at $72 a month for those 65 and older. It mirrors current VA benefits and seeks permanent law, despite opposition from Rankin and veterans who feared unfair eligibility.
