The Veterans Ad
ministration is reminding
World War I veterans that
the $800 pension bonus
Congress approved for
them last year isn't
automatic and, in fact,
has some important str
ings attached.
According to VA
Regional Director Ken
neth E. McDonald, many
of the nearly 300,000
World War I veterans cur
rently receiving VA pen
sion payments apparently
assumed they automatical
ly qualified for the addi
tional $800 payment in
cluded under the revised
pension plan passed by the
95th Congress. ,
But receipt 'of the bonus
payment depends on the
veteran's acceptance of
the improved pension plan
which, in some instances,
would mean less income
for the veteran.
McDonald pointed out.
Many World War. I
veterans are receiving pen
sion payments under a
plan which doesn't count
certain other income, such
as railroad retirement
payments or a wife's in
come for computing the
veteran's total income.
Others receive VA pen
sion under a plan which
guarantees they will con
tinue to receive payments
at the rate in effect on
December. 31. 1978. This
plan nlso include an extra
25 net cent payment to
many veterans because ;
they are over 78 years of
age.' -.-.ri-' 'i:v$- -V-;
Under i the improved s
pension plan (the one to -which
the $800 bonus is "
attached) all of a veteran's "
outside income is counted .
and. the VA pension will''
be reduced dollar for
dollar accordingly.
McDonald pointed out
that the new improved
pension plan . offers
substantial increases in
pension rates for many
World War J veterans. But
many others, he said, ?
should carefully weigh the ;
choices available before . '
deciding to switch pension
plans.
Veterans , Administra
tion counselors in VA
" regional offices in each of
the fifty states, and service
officers at local veterans
organizations, stand ready
to assist World War I
veterans' in making the
best choice regarding their
VA pension. However, in
no event will the VA ac
cept an i election not
beneficial to the veteran or
widow making it, unless .
the pensioner insists irt
writing. r
Veterans have until Oc-"
tober 1 of this year to
make the choice if they
wish to receive pavements
under the revised program"
retroactive to January 1 .
