ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS REGARDING
TERMINAL LEAVE PAY
President Truman has signed into law the Leave Act of 1946, which
equalizes leave benefits for officers and enlisted persons oi the armed
serv ces and grants cash and bond payments to certain veterans.
Here are a few questions and answers of interest to former service
men and women.
I
What veterans are affected by the Leave Act of 1946?
Any person honorably separated from the service between
September 8, 1939 and September 1, 1946, who had at the
time of separation accumulated leave credii.3 for %vhich he
was not compensated.
Does this include officers?
Yes, those officers who had enlisted time during the period
mentioned above. Under earlier law they already have been
compensated for leave accumulated as officers.
How about women in the service?
They are eligible for benefits, too, but WACs may count only
the time they served after the name was changed from WAAC
to WAC.
How dees a person go about collecting his benefits?
Get a form at any post office, fill it out and have it notarized,
and mail it to the appropriate finance officer with the original
copy of your discharge, a photostabc copy, or a true copy
certified by an authorized civil official.
What if I have lost my discharge?
Apply for a Certificate in Lieu of Discharge to one of the
following: The Adjutant General of the Army, 4300 Goodfellow
Blvd., St. Louis 20, Mo., or Bureau of Naval Personnel, Personnel
Division of the Marine Corps, or Commandant of the Coast
Guard, all at Washington 25, D. C. *
How will I be paid?
If you have less than $50 coming to you, you will be paid by
Treasury check. If more than $50, bonds will be issued for
multiples of $25 and a check for the balance.
My husband has died since his discharge. May I collect the
benefits?
Yes. you, as his next of kin, executrix or administratrix, will
collect the entire benefit in cash; no bonds will be issued.
What if a person has become insane?
The guardian legally appointed by a court will receive a cash
payment.
How long do I have to file for these bonds?
Until September L 1947.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS REGARDING
TERMINAL LEAVE PAY
What sort of bonds are those and when do they mature?
They are non-negotiable. non-transferable and may not be
pledged as collateral. They draw interest at 2V2 per cent and
mature five years from the first day of the first quarter follow-
ing the separation for which they are paid. If a man was
discharged on January 10, 1943, his bonds will mature on
April 1. 1948.
Will I receive my discharge paper back?
Yes. The finance officer will mail it to you as soon as he is
finished processing your application. ..The check and bonds
will be mailed later.
I live near an Army post. May I get my application processed
more quickly if I go there in person?
No. All applications must be handled by mail.
Where can I receive help in filling out the form?
Any of the 3,000-odd Veterans Community Information and
Advisory centers in the nation will be prepared to help you
fill out your form. Most of these centers will have a Notary
Public handy who will notarize the form free of charge.
If I send my original discharge paper to the finance officer, I
may have to go several weeks without evidence on my person
of honorable service. Have you any suggestions to cope
with this?
Many of the larger Veterans Community Information and Ad-
visory Centers maintain photostat plants where copies of dis-
charge papers are made free of charge. Others have com-
mercial contracts for this work at low rates. . Almost any com-
mercial photographer can copy a document at small cost.
It is suggested that you have a photostat made before sending
your discharge paper to the finance officer. Additionally, some
veterans have their discharge papers recorded at their county
court house.
Should I hurry to get my application in?
That is not necessary. You have a year, until September 1,
1947, to file your claim, and your bonds will mature on the
same date regardless of when you file.
How long will I have to wait to receive payment?
There is no way accurately to answer this. Within a short
space of time you will receive your discharge paper back with
a notation on it to the effect that your application is being
processed. In due time your bonds and check will be mailed
to you. Do not write your finance officer asking about the
progress of your application. Replying to this correspondence
will only take up time that he could use otherwise to process
your application,
