" Win Top Band Rating PAGE 5 - PI.AINDEALER - FRIDAY, APRIL 13.1979 * The $800 VA Pension Bonus mWmi The Veterans administration has reminded World War I veterans that the $800 pension bonus Congress approved for them last year isn't automatic and, in fact, has some im portant strings attached. Many of the nearly 300,000 World War I veterans currently receiving VA pension payments apparently assumed they automatically qualififed for the additional $800 payment in­ cluded under a revised pension plan passed by the 95th Congress. But receipt of the bonus payment depends on the veteran's acceptance of the improved pension plan which, in some instances, would mean l e s s i n c o m e f o r t h e v e t e r a n , V A pointed out. Many World War I veterans are receiving pension payments under a plan which doesn't count certain other income, such as railroad retirement payments or a wife's income for computing the veteran's total income Others receive VA pension under a plan which guarantees they will continue to receive payments at the rate in effect Dec. 31, 1978. This plan also includes an extra 25 percent payment to many veterans because they are over 78 years of age. Under the improved pension plan (the one to which the $800 bonus is attached) all of veteran's outside income is counted and the VA pension will be reduct^Wgollar 'for dollar accordingl^T VA officials pointed out that the new, improved pension plan offers susbstantial increase in pension rates for many World War 1 veterans. But many others, they said, should weight carefully the choices available before deciding to switch pension plans Veterans administration counselors in VA regional of­ fices in each of the 50 states, and service officers at local veterans organizations, stand ready to assist World War I veterans in making the best choice regarding their VA pension However, in no event will the VA accept an election not beneficial to the veteran or widow making it, unless the pensioner insists in writing. Veterans have until Oct. 1 of this year to make the choice if they wish to receive payments under the revised program retroactive to Jan. 1, 1979 JOHNSBURG HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Johnsburg high school concert band, under the direction of Hal Thompson, received a first place rating at the state music contest Saturday, April 7. The band traveled to Northern Illinois university in DeKalb to compete with 25 other bands from this part of the state. Each of the three judges who rated the bands gave Johnsburg a first. Some of their comments were, "...some of the best intonation I've heard today," and "This group plays with assurance, technical control, and flair." Special pride was expressed in the top rating earned the first year the school has been in operation.
