TITLE 50—WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
§ 4132
(2) In the case of each claim allowed in an
amount greater than $500, such claim shall be
paid in two installments. The first installment
shall be paid in an amount equal to $500 plus
662⁄3 per centum of the amount of such claim
allowed in excess of $500. The last installment
shall be computed as of September 1, 1956,
under the next sentence of this paragraph,
and, as so computed, shall be paid from the
sums remaining in the War Claims Fund on
that date. If the sums remaining in the War
Claims Fund on September 1, 1956, are suffi-
cient to satisfy all claims allowed under this
section and not paid in full, the unpaid portion
of each such claim shall be paid in full; if the
sums remaining in the War Claims Fund on
September 1, 1956, are not sufficient to satisfy
all claims allowed under this section and not
paid in full, the last installment payable on
each such claim shall be reduced ratably, and,
as so reduced, shall be paid from the War
Claims Fund.
