WHAT WAR WIDOWS SHOULD NOW I
HOOT PENSIONS AND COMHKSffIIIM:
(
We are convinced that there are
now hundreds, yes thousands, of wid
ows of deceased veterans in North
Carolina who do not know the rights
and benefits to which they would be
entitled if and when they properly ap
plied for same. The moat generous
legislative provisions imaginable, as
you know, are of no benefit whatever
to disabled veterans or their depend
ents who are not informed t' at such
benefits exist. Benefits must be prop
-erly applied for to be received.
We sincerely believe there are thou
sands of widows of World War I
veterans in North Carolina who do not
know that w'do-**i o< v ;erans of
World War I whose income is SI,OOO a
year or less are entitled to a pension
of $42 a month from -he Federal
Government. There is nothing auto
matic about this or any other such
benefit. It must be properly applied
for to be received, and payments can
be made only fi. m date of applica
tion. The proper proofs must be pre
sented. 'Such Wor d War I veterans*
death may have been from any cause
whatever (non-service-connested). The
District Service Officers of the N C.
Veterans Commission and the County
Veterans Service Officers in plastical
ly every county in North Carolina
stand ready, willing- and anxious to
assist any widow of such veterans of
World War I to properly file applica
tion for such monthly benefit and help
her prove her claim, if she is eligible
for such ’benefits.
The basis of eligibility for this
benefit is as follows: Service toy the
veteran must have been (between 'April
€, 1917, and November 11, 1918, and
discharge or release from active duty
must have been under other than dis
honorable conditions after 90 days or
more of military service. For the
purpose of a pension a widow must
have 'been married to a World War. I
veteran before December 14, 1944, or
10 or more years to the person who
served, and must not have been re
married. Such deceased World War
I veterans need not have been dis
abled at all,
The monthly rates of this benefit
are: Widow, no child —$42. Widow,
one child—s 64 (each additional child
$6.) No widow, one child —$21.60. 'No
widow, two children—s32.4o. No
widow, three children —$43.20 (each
additional child $4.80). This 'benefit
is not payable to a widow without a
minor child or children during a calen
dar year when her annual income ex
ceeds $2500. Please note that the
above-described benefit under the
above conditions is for eligible wid
ows and for orphans of World War I
veterans only.
In order for the widow of a veteran
of World War II to qualify for the
above benefit, the World War II vet
eran must have been discharged under
conditions other than dishonorable
and at the time of death was receiv
ing or entitled to receive compensa
tion for 10% or more service connect
ed disability; or, having served at
least 90 days during World War II
(or having been discharged for disa
bility incurred in the line of duty) at
time of death had definitely ascer
tainable service-connected disability.
We sincerely hope that the time will
not be long until all the various vet
erans organizations will succeed in
their efforts to get legislation enacted
into law by Congress to provide the
above-described benefits for eligible
widows and orphans of World War II
veterans upon exactly the same basis
as widows and orphans of World War
I veterans now have under existing

law. However, the above discrimma- ‘
tion against widows and orphans of 4
World War II veterans still exists un- ‘
der present Federal 'Laws. '
Pension for non-service-connected
death—Spanish American War group
—is payable to widow who was mar
ried to Spanish American War veteran ’
prior to September 1, 1938; or to de- '
pendent unmarried widow, age 60
years or over, married subsequent to
December 31, 1937, if married 10 years !
or more prior to hi* death. Continu
ous cohabitation is required in either
case. Veteran must have been honor
ably discharged after having served
90 days or more, unless discharged
for service-incurred disability. The
monthly rates of this benefit to wid
ows of such Spanish American War
veterans are: Widow, any age—s4B;
wife during service—s6o, plus $7.20
for each child; no widow, 1 child (to
age 16) —$66.20; each additional child 1
(to age 16) —$7.20; 1 child (age 16 or
over—s2s.92; 2 children (age 16 or
over) —$38.88; 3 children (age 16 or
over) —$54.84;, each additional child
(age 16 or over) —$5.76.
World War II widows are eligible
for a pension only when the deceased
veteran had a service-connected disa-i
bility existing at the time of death.
Survivors of veterans of any war are
not required to prove service-connec
tion. v
We are also convinced there are
hundreds—perhaps thousands—of wid
ows of World War I or World War II
whose death was the result
of disease or injury incurred in the
service is entitled to death compen
sation of $75 per month, provided
such widow has not re/married. If
death is subsequent to service, dis
charge must have been under other
than dishonorable conditions. This
benefit is payable to unremarried
widows, unmarried children under the
age of eighteen yeans (with extension
to age to twenty-one years, if attend-
