Veterans and Their Pensions in Washington County
Judge D. Thigpen says the first quarterly pension payment to Washington County veterans will occur around February 20. The change to quarterly payments, enacted by the last legislature, surprised many veterans who relied on a single annual lump sum. A disabled retiree, traveling 36 miles round trip, faces four trips yearly totaling 144 miles under the new rule. In the year, two veterans died, four moved to other counties, and eighteen new names were added to the list.
