Bonus Bureau Nears End of WWII Bonus Checks
Albany reports the State Bonus Bureau may run out of money as it struggles to distribute the remaining World War II checks. It has mailed to New York veterans since shortly after VJ Day, distributing 88.4 million dollars in March 1948 to 402 thousand recipients, while October 1947 deliveries fell to 355 thousand dollars for 1,816 vets. Gerald E. Rowley leads the bureau as demand declines.

New York World War I Bonus Totals and Proposed Eligibility Change
New York officials report $318 million paid to 1.46 million WWI veterans with average claim about $218 and remaining funds uncertain. A legislative move by Assemblyman A Gould Hatch to extend eligibility to Sept 21 1846 would affect about 125000 veterans at an estimated cost of $17 million, while Rowley projects possible $30 million still undistributed after administrative costs.
