Pension Roll in Flux as Officials Weigh Future of U S Pensions
A Washington pension official admits uncertainty over when the national pension roll will end. Variations in annual increases and Spanish war pensions complicate the forecast. At year end the roll stood 993,529 names, up 2,010 from the prior year, with 42,334 dropped and 43,444 added, including 4,699 restorations. If no growth occurs and the roll declines 43,000 yearly, exhaustion could come in about 23 years, around 1924, with Mexican War statistics offering context.
