NOTICE TO VETERANS
The law Increasing subsis
tence to veterans attending:
school, and pursuing: a full
time course, roes Into effect
April 1, 1948. This means that
the first checks for this In
creased subsistence will arrive
on or about May 1, 1948. The
raise in subsistence will be
automatic for those veterans
who do not claim any depen
dents, and also for those vet
erans who claim only one de
pendent and have furnished
proof thereof to the Veterans
Administration. Veterans who
will now claim more than one
dependent will be required to
furnish proof of the additional
dependents if they have not
already done so. The veteran's
name and C-number should
bff attached to that proof. For
example, a veteran with a wife
and a child has probably al
ready submitted a certificate
of public record of marriage.
He will also need a certificate
of the birth record of the child.
No additional application forms
are required.
Those veterans concerned
should proceed at once to ob
tain legal proof of additional
dependents and submit the
same to the Regional Office of
the Veterans Administration.
Veterans may, if they so de
sire, leave such proof at the
office of the Veterans Consul
tation Board, 101 Mechanic
Arts Hall, where it will be
transmitted to the Regional Of
fice of the Veterans Admini
stration. Proof that is furnished prior
to July 1, 1948, will be retro
active to April 1, 1948, pro
vided the dependency existed
prior to April 1. Proof that Is
furnished after July 1 will not
be retroactive. Since no in
creased subsistence will be
paid until the proof is in the
hands of the Veterans Admin
istration, veterans should pro
ceed at once to obtain ' such
proof.

Director
Veterans -Consultation Board.
