Can veterans of World War 2 collect benefits just from being in the war?
Generally no. If a veteran had a service-connected disability then he would be eligible for monthly payments. If he was killed, there was a $10,000 life insurance policy payable to whatever beneficiary the serviceman designated, or to his next of kin, if he had not designated a beneficiary. Men not killed had the right to make the payments and keep this insurance coverage after they were discharged, if they wished. The veterans also had the right to continuing medical treatment at Veteran's Administration medical facilities. For the first time in WWII veterans had some help at the time of their discharge, in the form of the "GI Bill of Rights". This legislation provided for educational assistance, which many vets used to obtain a college degree after the war. There was also a right to a one-time VA home loan, without regard to credit ratings, at a favorable interest rate. If a person stayed in the military for twenty or more years they would be eligible for military retirement payments, PX shopping privileges, and continuing VA medical care. There is no pension or other form of payments merely for being a WWII vet. The US today has Social Security retirement and disability benefits, plus Medicare and Medicaid. In earlier wars these did not exist and congress usually got around to passing a pension law for the vets and their surviving spouses, but not until they were getting old.

What episode involving world war 1 veterans in Washington D.C. became a problem to the Hoover administration?
The "Bonus Army" who demanded that they be paid a bonus for their service to compensate for the wages they would have been able to earn if they had been allowed to remain stateside and work instead of going off to fight in the war. In 1924, after several years of lobbying, congress finally awarded the WWI veterans "adjusted universal compensation"-a bonus-in the form of government bonds that would collect interest over two decades and be paid out no earlier than 1945. Unfortunately the Great Depression hit in in 1929 and the veterans needed the money NOW. Something around 17,000 veterans (plus many of them families which swelled the total to around 43,000) traveled to Washington, DC. and set up camps (named "Hoovervilles" in derision of the President). Eventually Hoover ordered the Army to evict them from DC. His handling of the Bonus Army had major political impact on Hoover and contributed to him loosing in a landslide to F.D.R. in the next election.

You can contact Veterans Affairs office with your questions. HOWEVER, dependent children are typically only eligible while they are minors or in school / college up to a certain age. If your father had applied and was receiving benefits at the time of his death, as far as I know, the claim dies with him unless his legal spouse can collect continuing benefits as the widow.

Double dipping laws typically refer to regulations that prevent individuals from receiving payment for the same work or injury from multiple sources simultaneously.

Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.
