EMERGENCY RELIEF APPROPRIATION ACT, 1935

NOTE

The disability or death benefits under the act of February 15, 1934 (48 Stat. 351), extended by section 2 of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 to "persons receiving from the appropriation made herein, for services rendered as employees of the United States securing payments in accordance with schedule established by the President", are specifically authorized only for disability or death resulting from traumatic injury while in the performance of duty. Funds of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 are therefore not available to pay hospitalization or burial expense of employees who are injured while attached to and residing at the work camp but not in the performance of duty.
