New Hampshire Rep Proposes Expanded Civil War Widow Pensions
Representative cy Sulloway of New Hampshire introduced a bill to raise widow pensions to 12 dollars monthly for those married before 1890 and whose veteran served at least ninety days. The plan increases all widows’ pensions from eight to twelve dollars and eliminates the income cap for pension eligibility. Backed by Speaker Cannon, the bill, expected to pass, would add about 9.1 million dollars a year to the pension budget, lifting total pensions to just over 160 million for the coming year. It is seen as likely to gain support before the presidential election due to political considerations.
