New Pension
Plan Explained
By VA Officer
In reply to the large number of
inquiries received since the en
actment of the Veterans Pension
Act of 1959, the Veterans Ad
ministration today emphasized
that it has nothing to do with
veterans receiving service-con
nected compensation.
Only those veterans and/or de
pendents eligible to receive pen
sions based on nonservice-connect
ed disabilities are affected, T. R.
McConnell, Adjudication Officer,
V. A. Regional Office, Columbia,
explained. He further added that
it will not become effective until
July 1, 1960.
Mr. McConnell presented the
new pension picture in this nut
shell:
Veterans, widows and orphans
now on the pension rolls, or com
ing on the rolls before that date,
will be allowed to choose the pres
ent system or the new pension
plan—whichever they prefer. The
VA will help them make that
choice by sending them a form
to be filled out. They will re
ceive this form automatically;
writing to the VA will not speed
things up.
If you are a veteran, the re
quirements haven’t changed. You
must still have 90 days of wartime
service, a discharge other than
dishonorable, and be totally and
permanently disabled for reasons
not necessarily related to service.
But the amount of pension will
be based on your financial need.
Under the present system, an
annual income limitation was set
at $1400 for single veterans and
$2700 for veterans with one or
more dependents. But the amount
of pension remains the same for
each class . . . $66.15 per month
until the veteran reaches 65 years
of age or has been on the pension
rolls ten years. Then it jumps to
$78.75 per month.
Under the new law effective
next July 1, a payment of $85 per
month will go to a veteran with
out dependents if his annual in
come does not exceed $600. This
payment drops to $70 per month
if his annual income is between
$600 and $1200. It drops further
to $40 per month for single vet
erans whose income lies between
$1200 and $1800 and ceases en
tirely over $1800.
Veterans with one dependent
are similarly scaled: one depend
ent $90 per month with income
not over $1000; $75 with income
between $1000 and $2000, and a
lowest payment of $45 per month
with income between $2000 and
$3000.
Veterans with two dependents
will receive $95 per month and
those with three or more depend
ents will receive $100 per month

Near famous Hole-In-The-Wall, Alaska
Alaska hasn’t been exactly hidden. It’s a bit difficult to hide that
huge chunk of territory comprising 586,400 square miles—more than
twice the size of Texas. Rather it has been overlooked until statehood
focused national attention on this “great land."
Turning their eyes northward are travelers seeking something
different; pioneer-organized folk whose instinct is to go to a new
country; and truant Alaskans who can never forget their years in
Alaska.
Eskimos and Indians. Its popula
tion is young—an average of 27
years.
This technicolor country of
magnetic attraction is a land of
contrasts. Old log cabins drowse
in the shadows of modern 18-story
buildings. There are hot volcanoes
and cold glaciers. It is still a
place of prospectors and trappers
but valley farms are yearly In
creasing agricultural output.
Alaska is laced with old trails but
it has more than 5,000 miles of
road system of which 95 per cent
of the 2,00l mile primary high
ways are paved.
There are lively ghost towns,
wilderness camps, gold panning,
river and mail boat trips, hunt
ing and fishing. Camera fans may
capture the lordly bull moose, the
shy white mountain sheep, or the
Alaska is thought of as a young
country—yet it has an old his
tory. In 1728 when Vitrus Bering
was sailing the strait that bears
his name, the Pennsylvania Ga
zette was being founded in Phil
adelphia. While Capt. Cook was
exploring Alaska’s coastline in
1776, the English Colonies in
America were declaring their in
dependence from the mother
country.
The year Prince Maximilian
was executed in Mexico (1867),
the United States paid a bargain
price of $7,200,000 for Alaska
which was referred to as “Se
ward’s Folly.”
Alaska is still a frontier—yet it
is modern. Three-quarters of its
206,000 population is composed of
migrants from all of the 48 states.
The other quarter is made up of
curious caribou.

if their incomes are under $1000
a year but above $1000 the pay
ments are the same as for the
veterans with one dependent.
The present law provides total
payment monthly of $135.45 for
those helpless veterans requiring
regular aid and attendance when
they are not in a VA hospital or
domiciliary. The new law will add
$70 a month to their basic pen
sion payment for aid and attend
ance under the same circum
stances.
If you are a widow, the basic
requirements for pension eligibil
ity will be changed as of July 1,
1960. The present law requires
that widows of World War II and
Korean conflict veterans must
submit evidence that the veteran
had a service-connected disability.
After July 1, 1960, the widows
merely have to submit proof that
the veteran was in active war
service for 90 days or more and
that he was discharged under
other than dishonorable condi
tions.
World War I widows have for
many years had only this simple
active duty requirement.
Briefly, a childless widow on
the present pension rolls receives
$50.40 per month if her income is
not over $1400. With a minor
child, or children, her income may
be as much as $2700 per year. The
widow with one child receives $63
and there is $7.56 provided for
each additional child.
Coming on the rolls after July
1, 1960, a childless widow will
receive $60 per month if her an
nual income is not more than
$600; $45 per month with an
annual income between $600 and
$1200; and $25 a month with an
annual income between $1200 and
$1800.
A widow with one child, under
the new law, will receive $75 a
month if her annual income is not
more than $1000; $60 per month
with an annual income of between
$1000 and $2000, and $40 a month
if her annual income is between
$2000 and $3000. An extra $15 a
month is paid in all instances for
each additional child.
If you are an orphan, the pres
ent income limitation is $1400 per
year and pensions amount to
$27.30 a month for one orphan,
$40.95 for two; $54.60 a month
for three and an extra $7.56 for
each additional orphan.
Under the new pension plan,
orphans will be eligible for pen
sions if their outside income is not
more than $1800 a year, not
counting their own earnings. Pen
sions will be $35 per month for
one orphan and an extra $15 per
month for each additional orphan.
' Stressing these highlights, Mr.
McConnell pointed out that the
working details have been omit
ted for the sake of brevity.
The VA has requested that no
one write to the agency to further
add to the workload of putting
the new system into operation.
All those now on the rolls will be
notified by the VA and all new
