Mr. Schwabe contacted the Office of Dependency Benefits, who informed him that the proposed 18-month provision for family allowance only applies to soldiers in active military service, not those who have been discharged.

Sims also responded to Mrs. Tharp, confirming the details of the family allowance provisions for soldiers and their dependents."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_6_55_0021.jpg "Family Allowance Legislation for Soldiers: Correspondence Between Mrs. Gertrude Tharp and Honorable George B.
