This classification was established in January 1944 for investigations of violations of the Servicemen's Dependents Allowance Act of 1942 (public Law 625, 77th Congress). Investigations conducted prior to 1944 were filed under classification 46, Fraud Against the Government, or classification 62, Miscellaneous. The investigations focus on the unlawfull receipt of a serviceman's dependent allowance by a woman who is not the legal wife of the serviceman.
