Veterans Administration is taking
action to put the provisions of a
new law, the Survivor Benefits Act,
into effect. The new law signed by
the President on August 1, revises !
benefits for dependents of deceased
servicemen and veterans who died
of service-connected causes.
The act specifies that payments
under the new law cannot begin
I prior to January 1, 1957, but VA
I already has the computations start
ed to be effective at that time.
VA stressed that this law does i
NOT change death pension bene
fits to widows and children of vet
erans whose deaths were not as a
result of war service.
Widows, dependent parents and
guardians or orphan children re
ceiving compensation for service-:
connected death of a veteran are
requested NOT to contact VA for
information.
Veterans Administration will no
: tify each person receiving death
compensation under the present law
concerning his rights under the
new law.
Persons eligible for death compen
sation under present law are pro
; tected in their existing rights and
v,iii be able to choose the new form
of compensation if it is to their ad
vantage.
VA will send forms outlining the
new benefits to help them to reach
a decision, For this reason, VA
asked that no inquiries be made
either by letters or at its offices
until after the forms are received.
: The forms are expected to be
! mailed to widows, guardians of
i children and dependent parents
I within the next 30 to 60 days.
New rates of dependency and
