Veterans Pension Bill Advances With Means Test
Washington May 104 The House Veterans Committee moved a $72 monthly pension bill with a means test limiting benefits to low income veterans unfavorably to unmarried veterans under 1,200 dollars yearly or those with dependents under 2,500 dollars. A sworn anti-subversive affidavit is required. Top cost projected at about 15 billion over 50 years, far below a previous 125 billion plan that was shelved by one vote. Benefits vary from 72 dollars at 65 for total disability to 60 at 55 and 120 for severe aid needs. World War II widow pensions not aligned with World War I. The WAC put estimated cost at 21 billion.
