COMK IV A.l I.KT VH TALK PAINT TO YOU
The Director 'of Finance hav'ug
practically completed payment of the
sixty dollar bonus, involving about
1.400,000 claims, is now settling ad
ditional travel allowance due enlist
ed men of the army under Section 3
of the Act approved February 28,
1919, which an'hfh-ized travel pay to
enlisted men honorably discharged
since November 11, 1918, at the rate
of 5 cents pr mile to actual bona
fide "home or residence, or place of
original muster into the service at
the option of the soldlre.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
by decisons rendered April 17 and
May 3, 1919, has authorized the War
Department to make settlement of all
claims for the 1 cent difference
from place of discharge to place of
entry into the military service, also
the claims or additional allowance
to actual bona fide Home or resi
dence at date of discharge when such
bona fide home or residence can be
determined from the affidavit of the
soldier and verified by information
I contained in his original service rec
ord. The Zone Finance omcer wasn.
ington, D. C, has been designated to
settle these claims with the above
restrictions. Applications Should be
addressed as follows:
ZONE FINANCE OFFICER,
Lemon Building,
Washington, D. C,
Travel Allowance.
A blank form of application,
which includes the necessary am-
davit for the additional travel al
lowance, may be obtained from any
axmv recruiting officer, Red Cross,
or other agencies organized to aid
soldiers. This affidavit must be ac
companied by a true copy of soldier's
riiaphorcB certificate, certified as
such by a recruiting officer, or the
original discharge certificate, the
latter to be returned with check.
While payment will be made on the
original discharge certificate, the
claimants are advised that the use of
tSie copy will eliminate the possibili
ty of the loss of the original. No
further correspondence is necessary
xcept in change of address.
A certified copy of discharge certi
ficate submitted for payment of 60
bonuses and now on file in the zone
finance office will be accepted in lieu
of other copy of original discharge
certificate. Men who have submit
ted these certified copies will so
state when forwarding claim. Pay
ments will be made as expeditiously
as circumstances permit.
In the event that the actual bona
fide home or residence at date of
discharge, as claimed by the soldier,
is not the same as stated on hi;
original service record, the zone fi
nance officer will make settlement
for the additional 1 cent per mile
on the same basis that'the 3 cents
per mile was paid, (this is, from
place of discharge to place of entry
into military service) and soldier
may make claim to the auditor for
the War Department for any addi
tional travel pay which he believes
may be due him.
Men who 'have been discharged
since February 28, 1919, and paid
travel allowances at 5 cents per mile
to place of entry into military ser
vice, and whose actual bona fide
home or residence at date of dis
charge involved a greater distance,
may submit claim to the zone finance
officer, Washington, D. C, as above,
It is pointed out that settlement
for travel claims cannot be accomp
lished with the same rapidity which
obtained in the payment of the $60
bonus. Each claim will require cer
tain verification by War EDepart
ment records, this to be followed by
mileage calculations in the zone fi
nance office. The need for accura
cy is obvious, necessitating a special
ized office personnel, and it is hoped
that this circumstance will not re-
overlooked by those concerned. Ev
ery letter or telegram making in
quiry 6"r requesting ejppedited action
will operate to delay these payments,
and the public is therefore urged to
lend full co-operation with a view
to reducing correspondence to the
minimum, 'keeping in- mind that it
will be several days before the blank
forms can be placed in the hands of
recruiting officers.
