STATEMENT BY SECRETARY
McADOO
The attention of the Treasury
Department has been called to
the fact that there is some mis
understanding in various parts of
the country to the effect that the
beneficiaries under certificates of
insurance, held by soldiers who
have died, are required to show
that they were dependent upon
the soldier before they can collect
the insurance benefits due.
This impression is wholly un
founded and is doubtless due to
confusion of the insurance provi
sions of the War Risk Insurance
Act with those relating to com
pensation which apply whether
the soldier carries insurance or
not.
If a soldier dies as the result of
injury or disease suffered in the
line of duty regardless of whether
he has applied for and taken out
insurance, the compensation is
payable to his wife and children,
and aBo to his dependent father
or mother, or both if he is survived
by such dependents. Therefore,
awards of compensation to the
father or mother of a deceased
soldier cannot he made unless
proof of their dependency is pre
sented. No such conditions, how
ever. obtain as to insurance bene
fits which are payable to the fath-
