NEWS Q - Are all women veterans going to get a special bonus from the VA? A -- No. Women veterans who were married and who trained under the GI Bill between June 1, 1966, and October 24, 1972, may be eligible for about $30 for each month they were in training under the GI Bill while they were married. The retroactive payment equalizes benefits with male veterans who received a GI Bill allowance for their wives. O - How were veterans' benefits affected by President Ford's proclamation ending the Vietnam era on May 7, 1975? A -- Potential eligibility for persons entering service after May 7 was terminated for such wartime benefits as non- service-connected disability pensions for veterans, burial allowances and nonservice- connected death pensions for widows and surviving children of veterans. Unaffected was GI Bill educational training for which eligibility is linked to service dates established by Congress. Q - I have been in school since the beginning of the enrollment period and have yet to receive an educational assistance check. Can you help me? A -- You helped yourself with the inquiry. It was VA's first knowledge of your new ad­ dress. Your checks were returned for lack of a for­ warding address. Consumer Forum Backyard Pools More than a million home swimming pools are now in use in this country. Over 300 drownings occur in them every year. The principal contributory causes of pool accidents are inability to swim, inadequate barriers around pools, and lack of super­ vision. By Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott "At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge," said the gentleman, taking up a pen, "it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hun­ dreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir...A few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?" / "Nothing!" Scrooge replied. That plea from the classic Dickens' "Christmas Caror' didn't soften old Mr. Scrooge's heart. But similar words often soften our hearts during the holiday season. For a variety of definable and undefinable reasons, we don't like to see our fellowmen do without at Christmas time or Hanukkah time. Fortunately, enough people care about their fellowmen that few are left out of the joy of the holiday season. But there always are those several who care most about making a quick buck, even if it means ripping off the innocent public in the name of charity. And this is heinous.

I want to discuss the charitable * contributions and fund raising laws of Illinois with you.. I want to warn both charitable organizations and individual contributing citizens of the charitable fraud danger signs. But in doing this, I don't want to be misunderstood. I don't want to encourage anyone to stop making charitable con­ tributions. I do want to help insure that those valued con­ tributions will be used to the fullest extent possible to benefit the cause for which they were intended. In Illinois there is a law popularly called the Illinois Solicitations act. It is contaftfNl in Chapter 23, Sections 5101- 5114 of the 1973 Illinois Revised Statutes. According to this law, among other things, all charitable organizations and all professional fund raisers must register with the Illinois Attorney General's office. At present, there are ap­ proximately 8200 charities and 126 professional fund raisers registered in Illinois. Of these professional fund raisers, 55 are active, and their files are under continuing review by this office. According to the law. any contract entered into between a charitable organization and a professional fund raiser must provide that the charity receive 75 percent of all monies raised after expenses. And these expenses must be "reasonable and legitimate". This is not a bad law -- but it could be MUCH better. The problem area lies in defining "reasonable and legitimate" expenses. There are no guidelines within the law. And I have seen cases during my terms as Attorney General where after these so- called "reasonable and legitimate" expenses have been deducted, the charitable organization has received five cents on each one dollar con­ tributed. This certainly wasn't the intent of the contributor -- nor is it the intent of the law, as this office has argued suc­ cessfully in a growing number of court cases. As an example, let me tell you what happened in November, 1973, between Rudy Jacobi, an out-of-state fund raiser, and Chicago Police Post No. 207, American Legion. The Legion Post entered into a contract with Jacobi whereby Jacobi would produce a fund raising Christmas show at a Chicago high school. According to the terms of the "un­ conscionable" contract, the Legion Post would have ended up receiving only $11,000 out of the $74,500 raised...after what the professional fund raiser had called "reasonable and legitimate" expenses had been deducted. It took this office up to a year to determine and argue what indeed were "reasonable and legitimate" expenses in this case and what were not. And as a result, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Covelli ruled that the American Legion charity should receive $31,600 of the $74,500 raised. If your charitable organization is considering hiring a professional fund raiser, I would offer the following suggestions: 1. Be certain the professional fund raiser is registered with the Illinois Attorney General's office. To obtain this in­ formation, telephone (312) 793- 2595 in the Chicago area or (217) 782-1090, Charitable Trusts and Solicitations Division, in the Springfield area. 2. Be cautit>us of a professional fund raiser who offers a contract in which he implies he will do everything in the fund-raising effort and the charitable organization need do nothing but collect. We call these "unconscionable" con­ tracts, because there is no latitude for negotiating better terms. This is a difficult point, but I shall try to make it clear. As an example: the professional fund raiser stages a benefit show that would raise $10,000 gross. He claims his so-called "reasonable and legitimate" expenses would be about $4,000. This would leave $6,000, to which, under law, the charity is entitled to $4,500. However, in the end result, the charitable organization must pay out-of- pocket for the rental of the hall, any food served, etc. This may take $1,000 more -- from the charity, not the fund raiser. Be sure who-pays-for-what is negotiable and clearly negotiated before the contract is signed. The professional fund raiser should bear most of the expenses. 3. There should be a voucher for each expense incurred before that expense is paid. Be certain your charitable organization has a represen­ tative sign all checks in payment of expenses. This way he can double check any costs claimed. Be concerned about cash transactions. 4. Be certain a representative of the charitable organization supervises any students hired by the professional fund raiser to solicit contributions by telephone. Often these youngsters are paid on a commission basis, and to get contributions they can misrepresent the purpose of your charitable organization in outlandish sympathy pleas. Also, be certain the proper accounting forms are sent to the IRS by the professional fund raiser for any youngsters he may hire. 5. Be very cautious that the reputation of your charitable organization is not hurt in the process of fund raising. The public is hard pressed to contribute to a charitable organization if it learns that only five-to-ten cents per one dollar contributed actually goes to charity. Keep the "reasonable and legitimate" expenses as low as possible - though it is important for the contributing public to begin to realize that there indeed are "reasonable and legitimate" expenses involved in charitable fund raising.
