Survivors OF
Vets May Claim
Terminal Pay

Widows, children or parents of
former soldiers who died after hon.
orable discharge from the Army and
who had not claimed their terminal
leave pay prior to death are en-
titled to collect these payments, the
War Department has announced.
An estimated 40 million dollars is
due eligible survivors, of Army per-
sonnet in this category.
Due to the small number of
claims of this type received by the
Army so far, Major General Will
liam H. Hasten, Chief of Finance,
U. S. Army, urged survivors of
deceased former soldiers of World
War II who had unused furlough
time payable under the Armed For
ces Leave Act of 1916 at the time
of their separation from the Army,
to write Immediately to the Finance
Officer, U. S. Army, Army Finan-
&c Center, Building 2O4, st. Louis,
Missouri, for an application.
Up to this time the Finance Of
ficer, U. S. Army, at st. Louis, has
received 1900 claims from survivors
for terminal leave pay due former
soldiers who have died since leav-
ing the Army. General Hasten
pointed out that the ST. Louis office
is the only Army finance office ham
ding survivors claims for unused
leave and all inquiries must be
addressed to that office only.
Survivors who may be eligible
are defined as wife who was law
fully welded to the deceased form
er serviceman on the date of his
death, or child or children in equal
shares. In the event that there is
no wife or children, settlement will
be made to the parents of the de-
ceased former soldier. The term,
parent includes father and moth
er, grandfather and grandmother,
stepfather and stepmother, father
and mother through adoption, and
persons who, for period of not
less than one year prior to the death
of the former soldier, stood in place
of parents to such former enlisted
man. This applies equally to de-
ceased women of the Womens Army
Corps.
