Veteran* AdminlMrsUao ha» K lectcd Iter r>.<W pertinent Uißrth rr with the appropriate answers: | Q When will the new system of pension Raiments go into effect’ A On July 1. I*o The first checks und« r toe new system will not be mailed betorc August 1. IND Q Who will be affected by the n<*w * A. All veterans o< World War 1. World War 11 and the Korean conflict and their dependents who qualify and begin to receive nonservice pensions after June 30. 1960, will be under the new system Those already on the pension rolls on Jun.- 30. 19«. will not be affected unless they choose to come under the new system. They can maka this choice at any time, but once the selection is made, the pensioner can never revert to the old system. Q How does the new law affect those drawing compensation or service-connected benefits? A. The new law does not affect benefits paid for service-connected disabilities. Q Docs the new law affect service pensions? A. No Service pensions are paid only to Indian War, Civil War and Spanish American War veterans. These pensions are not affected by the new law. Q Does the new law change the eligibility requirements for pensions paid to veterans? A. Not basically. Ninety days active wartime service and an hon-orable-type discharge are required. The veteran must also be permanently and totally disabled. There are important changes in the income limits under the new system as well as some changes in the methods employed to compute the pensioner's annual income. Under the new law the veteran’s estate or "worth” will become an eligibility factor. Q. Let’s go into this a step at a time. What are the criteria for establishing permanent and total disability? A. The degree of disability may vary according to the age of the veteran. Generally he must have a disability which at his age prevents him from getting regular, full time employment. This disability must be such that doctors do not expect it to improve materially. Q. What are the changes in a veteran s income limits? A. Under the old law a veteran without dependents could not draw a pension if his annual income exceded $1,400. Under the new law he may receive some pension if his income is as high as SI,BOO. Under the old law a veteran with dependents could not receive a pension if his annual income waS(

Each case i of this nature is considered on • its own merits. > Q What income is specifically ’ exempt by law? A. Eight categories erf income . are exempt from consideration in i calculating the annual income to determine pension eligibility. They 1 are: . *s. 1. Payments of the six months death gratuity by the Service De--1 partment. I 2. Donations from public or private relief or welfare organiza- ■ tions 3. Payments of compensation or • pension by the VA. I 4. Government life insurance payments of servicemen's indem- ’ nity. 5. Social Security lump sum ! death payments. 6. Payments to an individual under public or private retirement, 1 annuity, endowment or similar • plans equal to the amount he contributed thereto. 7. Proceeds of fire insurance policies. , | 8. In the case of widows or children of a deceased veteran there are excluded amounts equal to the amounts paid for settlement of the veteran’s just debts, the expenses i of his Last illness, and the expenses of the veteran’s burial less the amount reimbursed by the VA. Q. How does the veteran’s estate ' "become an eligibility factor under I the new law? A. It is one of the need factors ' used in determining eligibility un- ' der the new system. It means that ' pensions will not be paid to veter- • ans who have sizable estates. (The estate of his wife and children • will not be considered.) Those « having quite a bit of property will not be eligible until they have used up some of their estate fori living expenses. Q. Does this mean that if a i veteran owns a farm or an apartr ment house he will have to sell ■ his property before he can be ’ eligible to receive a pension? f A. Not necessarily. It would depend upon the size and value of i the property and many other sac- ■ tors. The VA has made no attempt i

to provide an absolute yardstick for measuring the corpus of an estate. Nor has the VA set a dollars and cents ceiling where the value of an estate will operate as a bar to pension entitlement. In each case consideration must be given to the type of property, the age of the claimant, his life expectancy, his state of health, the number of persons dependent on him for support, and his income from other sources. A veteran’s dwelling is excluded from consideration as part of his estate. Each case will be judged individually on its own merit. Q. Does the rule regarding "corpus of estate” also apply to widows and children? A. Yes, the same as it does to veterans. Where there is a widow and children the corpus of the widow’s estate only will be considered. Where there is a child or children only, the corpus erf the estate of the child or children will be considered.) * Q. In order to compare the new pension system with the present one, what is the amount of pension a single veteran may receive now? A. At present any World War I, II or Korean conflict veteran if he is single and drawing a pension receives $66.15 a month un-

I less he is 65 years of age or older, or has been on the pension rolls 10 in which event he draws S7B 75. Those who become blind or so helpless as to require the regular aid and attendance of another person, receives $135.45 per month. Q. Now what will single veterans receive under the new system after July 1, 1960? A. The new system is planned to relate the amount of pension paid to the need of the pensioner. Thus a veteran without dependents may receive a pension of SBS a month if his annual income is not 1 more than $600; S7O a month if his income is above S6OO but not | more than $1200: and S4O a month I if his income is more than SI2OO but not more than SIBOO. If his annual income is more than SIBOO he receives nothing. Q. What pension does a veteran I with dependents receive at pre- ’ sent? . I A. He receives the same amount of pension as the single veteran receives. His only advantage is that be may continue to draw the pension if he has an annual income as high as $2700, whereas the single veteran cannot draw a pension if his annual income exceeds SI4OO. Q. How will the veteran with dependents fare under the new system? A. A veteran with one dependent may receive S9O a month if his annual income is not more than $1000; $75 a month if his annual income is more than SIOO9 but not more than $2000; and $45 at month if his annual income is more than S2OOO but not more than S3OOO. If his annual income is more than S3OOO, he receives nothing. Q. What about the veterans with more than one dependent? A. A veteran with two dependents may receive monthly pension payments of $95, $75 and $45 in the same three income ranges noted above. A veteran with three or more dependents may receive monthly payments of SIOO, $75 and $45 in those income ranges. Q. What will the new system do for veterans who require regular aid and attendance? A. Under the new law all pensions will be increased S7O a month for veterans who require regular aid and attendance. Q. There is talk of increased eligibility for widows and children under the new pension law. How many will be affected? A. The VA estimates that approximately 200,000 widows and children, survivors of veterans who died after serving in World War II and the Korean conflict will become eligible for pensions after July 1, 1960, when the new system goes into effect. Q. Don’t they receive pensions under the present law? " A. Only if they can show that the veteran had a service-conrfect-ed disability when he died. Q. But the widows and children of deceased World War I veterans do not have to prove any serviceconnected disability to obtain a pension, do they? A. No, they do not. And after next July 1, survivors of World War II and Korean conflict veterans like survivors of World War I veterans will have to show only that the veteran had 90 days of wartime service for a disability discharge*, was not dishonorably discharged, and that their annual income is within the limits per-
