War Risk Insurance changes streamline allotments and benefits
The October 6 1917 amendments redefine compulsory allotments to 15 dollars monthly with 15 or 20 dollar options, adjust alimony and family allowances, and shift payments to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and military/naval offices. They expand definitions of parent spouse and dependent status, extend protections from seizure and taxation, and authorize penalties for fraud. Red Cross information bureau offers guidance to soldiers families.
