New Army-Navy Pay Plan
Changes in Allotment and Allowance
Scheme to Dependents Made,
The Bureau of Education of the t
partment of the Interior, War Work)
Extension Division, has Issued, from
its New York office, 29 West Thirty
ninth street, a statement containing
information for the dependent mem
bers of families of officers and enlist
ed men In the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, and Coast Guard of the
United States, whether they are now
in service here or abroad.
The statement is an explanation of
the changes made in the payment of
allowances and allotments to depend
ents of the men in service, made
necessary by the recent amendment of
the so-called War Risk Insurance act.
Hereafter, through the War Risk
Insurance Bureau, no officer or en
listed man may direct the Govern
ment, or be directed by it, to turn
over more than $15 of his monthly
pay to those dependent upon him.
Neither will the War Risk Insurance
Bureau send even this $T5 to a de
pendent unless the allotment carries
with It an additional Government al
lowance for the benefit of the de
pendent. The men in the service may,
however, cause more of their monthly
pay to be sent home up to an amount
equal to half of It, through the War
or Navy Departments.
Notice of the change in the law was
sent promptly to all officers and men
in service, but it will take some time
for the new forms to be executed and
returned to Washington. It is this
delay which may work hardship to
seme families. To alleviate any real
distress the American Red Cross,
through its Home Service section, has
agreed to supply the necessary money.
The law had to be amended because
of the huge amount of clerical work
the original act made necessary,
which has caused interminable delay
in the forwarding of pay checks to
the beneficiaries. Every time an en
listed man or officer was promoted, or
demoted, for that matter, the allot
ment and allowance account had to
be changed, and this required from
150,000 to 200,000 changes a month,
and pay checks were always late.
Under the new regulations, it is be
lieved, when they are fullv under
stood, the delivery of checks will be
greatly speeded up.
