Section 2
SEC. 2. Section eight of the same Act is hereby amended to read as follows: "SEC. 8. After the Judge Advocate General shall have distributed the arrears in pay and allowances in conformity with the foregoing provisions, such estate shall, as regards such arrears in pay and allowances so distributed, be deemed lawfully settled; and the Judge Advocate General shall no longer be answerable therefor to any person. But this shall not preclude any lawful heir from bringing an action against any person or persons who had so received said arrears in pay and allowances for the enforcement of any lawful claim thereto: Provided, That the Judge Advocate General or his duly authorized representatives acting upon his behalf are authorized to furnish an acquittance to the Government of the United States in satisfaction of all claims made by beneficiaries or distributes of the estate of deceased claimants who have furnished supplies or rendered services to the Government of the United States." Approved, September 26, 1945.
