OF INTEREST TO
Veteran
Bonuses in Ohio
Ohio State officials are moving forward with plans to distribute voter-approved
bonus payments to veterans of recent and ongoing military conflicts in the
Middle East. Families of veterans who were killed or missing in action could
begin receiving checks in September, with others starting in November. In
November, voters passed a constitutional amendment allowing the state to pay
cash bonuses to Ohio military men and women who served in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan
and Iraq -- those serving in current conflicts in the area, plus those involved
in Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s. For more information, visit the
Ohio Department of Veterans Services at (http://dvs.ohio.gov/)
http://dvs.ohio.gov or call the Department at 1-888-387-6446.
