New Veterans Pension Bill Faces House Vote
A new veterans’ pension bill is before the House with prospects of passage, featuring fights over excluding World War I veterans and over an unemployability standard. Chairman Rankin will seek amendments to remove a provision denying pensions to those not meeting any unemployability test, potentially lowering costs from about 9 billion dollars over ten years. The prior measure failed mainly due to its enormous projected cost, and the unemployability clause limits benefits to those unable to work more than half a day due to disability.
